2001 Netherlands 50 Euro cents, found in the till today. It could just about pass as a $1 coin. Also found a 1983 New Zealand 20 cent in the till, yesterday.

Found a 1995 Hong Kong 20c piece under a bench at the bus station. I hear in Hong Kong there is no such thing as social welfare, "market sensitive" vehicles--(corporate welfare) or even Jerry Springer. I'm carrying this sucker in my wallet as the bright omen.

1967 Washington Quarter. No big deal, but I keep our kids birth year coins, to give to them, and 1967 is when our oldest son was born. As I put the quarter aside, I noticed the edge was smooth. That suggests it spent some time in Reno or Las Vegas going through slot machines.

I found a 1996 Panama Centisimo--exactly same size/weight as our Cu/Zn Lincoln cents. I believe this one was struck by the RCM on the same stock used on those Canada Cu/Zn cents.

...Netherlands. 1 Cent. 1919. Not sure what beast is on the obverse. Lion? Dragon? Anyone help? The Dutch coat of arms shows a crowned lion holding a sword and clutch of arrows.

Also BU Texas Quarter, P. AU. I can see no marks on it. I have a second old camera bag I'll look through tomorrow.

Wow! That's a nice spread of dates for bank boxes, including a few earlier Canadian cents.

Went to the bank today after work and picked up $100.00 in halves. Found: 1964 (1), 1967 (1), 1968-D (4), 1969-D (1). The '67 is AU+, the rest average circulated, but decent!

I can't claim these as personal finds, but they are really something. I was in my favorite convenience store today, and the clerk showed me two coins she had pulled from the cash register. She found them a couple days apart. Both appeared to be almost uncirculated. A 1943-S Mercury Dime, and a 1935-D Buffalo Nickel. Do you suppose things are becoming so financially tough that people would spend coins like that?
