2011-D Glacier Quarter

Glacier National Park was known for two things its glaciers and mountains goats. Currently most of the 150 glaciers are disappearing or already gone. Thanks to large predators keeping nature in balance the goats are still common.

This coin is a bit hazy especially for only being three years old. Even with the slightly lower mintage it has no extra value.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 25 Cents - Glacier / United States
Year: 2011-D
Mintage: 31,200,000
Metal: 91.67% Copper 8.33% Nickel

1996 South Africa 5 Cents

Found this on the floor in construction zone at work, also found a bunch of American change. Construction areas, renovations, and moving of furniture are great times to search for lost money. Many times foreign coins are tossed in areas like this on purpose.

AFRIKA-DZONGA is South Africa in the Tsonga language and was added in 1996. The other side has a Blue Crane and the value of 5 c. South African coins features native animals and the national coat of arms. They are pretty common and the copper plating is on steel so it will have little value for now.

2005 Barbados Cent

Told y'all I have been getting a lot of Caribbean coins. The main feature of this coin is the trident. It has two small ones on the front and one large one on the back.

The coat of arms is full of odd and cool images. A pelican, a fish that can hug, a fist with sugarcane, and a banner with pride and industry among other things. The committee meeting to choose the coat arms must have been awesome, imagine what got rejected.

2004 Bahamas 5 Cents

Not even two months after finding a 2005 Bahamian 5 cents I go and get a 2004 in my change. Someone went to the Bahamas over the winter and is getting rid of them in my area.

The coin is in rough shape if I am correct that may be saltwater damage. Then again I may be projecting. I got a bunch of Caribbean coins at the same time and I envsion someone had a great weak island hopping.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 5 Cents / Bahamas
Year: 2004
Mintage: Unknown
Metal: Copper-Nickel

2005 Bermuda Cent

The most common of the copper-plated zinc cents issued from 1998-2008. Currently new Bermudan cents are copper-plated steel until steel becomes too expensive to use.

This was a nice coin but someone's fingerprint has caused that thin layer of copper to permanently  stained. Acid from our fingers is highly reactive to most metals especially with copper. At least the side with boar is fairly sharp looking. The hair and blades of grass are very defined and unscratched.

Here's the stats from top left...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / Bermuda
Year: 2005
Mintage: 3,200,000
Metal: Copper-Plated Zinc
Value: $0.10 in VF

1992 Poland 5 Groszy

First Polish change find in almost a decade. I often confuse it with a Russian coin because of the stylized eagle. It also has RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA which is Republic of Poland and there is a small MW mint mark from the Warsaw mint under the bird's right foot.

The other side has 5 Groszy which is the denomination and 5 oak leaves. If this was a 2 Groszy it would have 2 oak leaves. The number of oak leaves are the same as the denomination for all modern Polish coins from 1-10 groszy.

Until Poland gets the Euro in 2019, if all goes well, I do not think I will get another coin from Poland anytime soon but at least it keeps me searching. When Polish euros are made they will circulate as easy as other euros.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 5 Groszy / Poland
Year: 1992
Mintage: 103,784,000
Metal: Brass
Value: $0.05 in VF
