Duck For Dinner



Tonight after a special anniversary dinner of duck, rice and brussel sprouts I searched some coin. The meal was great, the coins, not so hot.

160 quarters, 100 dimes, and 40 nickels turned up one Canadian quarter and four Canadian dimes.

I also searched 4,300 pennies and found fourteen Wheats, forty-six Canadians and one Bermuda 1¢. I found my twelfh Steelie in a roll. The Wheats were:

19XX, 1918, 1938, 1941, 1943, 1944, 1946, 1952, 1952D, 1953D, 1955, 1956D, 1957(2).

Found: 1 quarter (at work)

What do you do with the Canadian and other foreign coins you come across?

Good question - as for the Canadians I definitely keep the varieties I need for my collection as I'm trying to fill albums of all denominations. I also keep all 99.9% Canadian nickels (minted before 1982), all silver coins (minted before 1969), and anything that is old (George VI or earlier). I either spend the other Canadians or keep them until I go back there for vacation. As for other foreign coins I just keep them for now. I've got a big box full at this point. I'd like to put them in some albums someday or trade them.
