At first I thought I found two Canadian coins instead one turned out to be slightly smaller. It was quite crusty and it took a few seconds to realize it was from the Cayman Islands. The smaller cent is 17.00mm and the larger is 19.10mm which is just a difference of 2.10mm yet it is obvious when they are in hand.

While the Canadian coin is quite sharp and shiny the Cayman Islands cent is in bad shape. It seems that at one point someone taped the cent. A clear light strip is on one side and lots of verdigris is on either side of the lighter strip. This happens when the chemical in the adhesive reacts with air and the bronze in the coin.
Of course the Canadian cent is a common find around this place but the Cayman Islands cent is hardly ever seen. It has been years since I found a Cayman Islands coin and longer since I found a cent.
Here's the stats from top left...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / Cayman Islands
Year: 1982
Mintage: Not yet known.
Metal: Bronze
Value: $0.03 in Good (although this does have lots of verdigris damage)
Type / Country: 1 Cent / Canada
Year: 2005
Mintage: 759,658,000
Metal: Bronze-Plated Zinc
Value: $0.02 in XF
It is kind of annoying when a coin as old as the 1982 Cayman Islands cent still has no official mintage listed.
Do you have a coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

I have a $1oo dollar bill with the color shifting ink missing on the bottom right side. you can see the 100 etched design on it but its not filled in. I received it when i was working in a bank a few years back. I'm for sure its genuine, from the watermark to the ridges made into the bill etc. Would you know if this has been reported before or have any info on it? If needed i can give you the serial numbers and date. I will post it tomorrow. Thanks

Yes this has been reported.
Apparently when they were first made the special ink would easily come off.
Most are considered damage but it also could be an Insufficient Ink error about $115.00 in fine. There is not a big market for this error.
100 bill Ink Error
Thank you very much for that info!! I'm thinking my bill is going to be hard to get rid of... I've searched for this online in the past and contacted a few people that dealt with misprinted money and not one had heard of this error and (without even seeing it) told me it was fake. I'm afraid if I deposit it at my bank they may confiscate it as a counterfeit. Would you be able to tell me when it was reported or possibly even an online source where i can read about this particular error. I really appreciate it.

No they won't confiscate it since all the other genuine markings are there. What they might to is label it damaged and have it replaced with a new $100 bill.
As far as I know no online source exist but maybe try asking a forum.
That said the 2nd Edition of the United States Paper Money Errors has a $20 listed.
It says "Missing color shift ink overlaying "20" in lower right corner" and values it at $25 in fine.
Your bill has not been officially reported but with so little value above face I would just use it like a normal bill. Maybe find a local coin club that will buy it for $15 over face value or at least verify the error.
Remember this special ink can easily be scraped off so that is why few people list this as an error.
Thank you for the great information! I did find a pic of a similar 100 bill online... I could not cut and paste so i listed the link. For any one that reads your blog and may be interested in seeing what one looks like.

Thanks for the link.
This one is not graded but the guy is a good seller.
He list it as extremely fine which is about XF-40 and if yours is less then cut the value in half.
hi, I found a 1963 u.s. penny that is missing the "i" in liberty. is it worth more than face value?

This is a Struck Through Grease error, unfortunately it has no extra value.
Hi,
I didn't know where to leave this so I thought I would leave it on the most recent post.
I have a 1950 ten dollar bill. The serial number starts with a D and the series is B (I think). It has a seal from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Ohio. I don't know what the scale for condition is on money, but it's got a crease as if someone folder it half way and long ways, and also there is a faint marker mark on it. The oddest thing is, I thought it was fake originally, because the whole image appears to be offset to the right, but I'm not sure if 10 dollar bills back then looked like that.
Is it worth anything? or should I just keep it as a cool what not...
Thanks!

Ok 1950 bills are often misaligned but that does not add to the value, yours is about $15.00.
It would be hard to sell in that condition so using it would not be a big loss it maybe a decade or so before it gains any real value.
