2010 France 5 Euro Cent

Decent Euro find from France. Euro coins are still worth a little more than U.S. coins so i have notice some travels take back their euros if they accidentally give it as change in the U.S.

Still common and metal value is low this coin probably will never reach collectors rarity but at least I found one.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 5 Euro Cent / France
Year: 2010
Mintage: 203,130,000
Metal: Copper Plated Steel: 94.35% Steel 5.65% Copper
Value: $0.10 in F

2005 Spain 1 Euro Cent

A year since my last Spanish coin find and of course this one is common. People still think of Euro coins as on kind but they are issued from many countries and sometimes have different collector values.

Unfortunately this one is so common that it has only face value. The front has the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela and the Spanish word for Spain which is EspaƱa.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Euro Cent / Spain
Year: 2005
Mintage: 444,200,000
Metal: Copper-Plated Steel: 94.35% Steel, 5.65% Copper
Value: $0.10 in Very-Fine

1998 Hong Kong 10 Cents

It has been three years since I last found a coin from Hong Kong. The reason I suspect is that their metal content is too different form American coins. Their economy is good and travel among nations is common. I think I got this as a penny.

The Bauhinia flower is on the front. The back has the denomination and year. This one is brass plated steel which solves the problem of steel getting scratched.

Here's the stats for both coins...
Type/Country: 10 Cents / Hong Kong
Year: 1998
Mintage: Unknown
Metal: Brass-Plated Steel
Value: $0.15 in Fine

2010 China 1 Jiao

Well China does like messing with money as we saw in the news this past week. Still trade is doing well enough so finding Chinese coins in our American change is not abnormal.

Stainless steel coins seemed to get more scratches than other metals but they hold their shape better. This one is fairly new but looks beat up. I do not get many of these but the few I have are in better shape. Even in great shape they have little value because of metal value and the fact billions were probably made.

Here's the stats for both coins...
Type/Country: 1 Jiao / People's Republic of China
Year: 2010
Mintage: Not yet known.
Metal: Stainless Steel
Value: $0.10 in XF
