I found a zinc cent and clad dime planchet along with some mystery tokens in a lot of rejected change from a cashiers till. The cent planchet is slightly bent. I'm wondering most about the strange token with a crude regal portrait on it. The edge is scalloped and appears modern, but the design is virtually barbaric. Is this some sort of pirate treasure play money? And is the brass token Vietnam era from Sega in Japan, or from Sunshine Mint.
Thanx for your replies.

Found a 2001 Queensland "Centenary of Federation" 20 cent, in the till at work.

Barely a mark on it, for it's age, I think it would pass as a aUNC.

Steve, You are a much better "coin finder" than I.

I haven't worked at the hospital gift shop for sever weeks.  Maybe when I get back to volunteering I'll have better luck.

I only get to work on the counter at work on a Sunday. During the week I work on the phones.
So on Sunday I go to work half an hour early, just to check all the coins.

When I was buying a bottle of pop for my son, my change came back and I heard an unfamiliar sound in the ringing of the coins as the cashier handed them to me.  I thought, "Oh great a stupid Canadian quarter", but I looked down and saw Washington staring at me - a 1963 quarter - in silver.

I was happy, as I didn't have this coin and year combination already.
