Kinharia Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) So I was given a lot of small change from the shop and I thought "May as well sort through this!" and looking through it I found an old coin from Ireland's Pre-Euro currency. It's no longer in circulation, no longer minted and is from the previous year to the creation of the Euro Just a cool little find I think (even though it was techincally not legal tender and I'm down 5 pence) Edited February 18, 2016 by Kinharia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astus Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I once found a us penny from 1931 randomly on the street; I was going to save it and pass it down but I'm pretty sure I spent it by accident as I cannot seem to find it anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revates Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I collect foreign and old currencies. Unfortunately I don't have very many old ones other than a couple small bags of old Australian coins. Many with the king on them! I hope to keep building on my collection. I've found quite a few eurocents given to me instead of $2 which has been a little annoying... but at least I can add them to my collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassfed Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) I got a bunch of old/foreign currency but it's all down south in California so I don't remember all what I have. I love old coins and stuff :3 Edited February 18, 2016 by grassfed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
