First time showing off a Haitian coin. Most are common and worth very little. Still in my change they are hardly seen and when they come in coin lots I always get the most common centimes.
There is so much to say about Haiti itself that the coin seems insignificant. Still recovering from the 2010 earthquake the population has survived but is not yet thriving. Before I get all depressed let me move on to the coin itself.

I took one year of French in college and did quite well, that said I forgot most of it and cannot translate off hand.

Thanks, I know I could have used Google Translate but I liked the mystery.
Where did you find this coin?
Where did you find this coin?
I can't recall exactly.
That said I think I got it in my change in the 1980s.
I have more but most older ones were from a coin lot I bought a few years back.
It would be cool to find this in your change these days.
1975 10 Centimes/Haiti Coin.
Walking the beach in Port Aransas, Texas as I do every day. . . I spottend a small bit of metal in the sand. . . .
It turned out to be this coin. . .well worn in some areas but I was able to do a google and took me to your site. . .
Glad to know what I found. . .I guess not as great a discovery as a chest of doubloons. . . but still a "find". . .

Still a nice find, I think more Haitian stuff will watch up on your shores than old-time pirate stuff.
