# 1:09 Japanese 10 Yen Bronze. # 2:39 G.B. 2 Shillings = 24 Pence (Old Currency "Sterling Pound" switched to "Decimal Pound" around 1966). #3:47 France stopped exchanging Francs for Euros in 2005. #4:35 Most ALL "British Commonwealth" countries feature the British monarch on the obverse and another design (usually "native/significant" to that particular country) on the reverse. That coin is a British Large Penny ("Victoria/Seated Britannia"). # 5:00 "Scalloped Edge" coin. #6:16 All silver Canadian coins were 80% silver 1920 - 1966. #7:27 Greek currency = 100 Lepta = 1 Drachma . # 8:22 Gas station "game" token. Collect the whole series in aluminum, turn it in and get a bronze set in return. (Somebody "punked" you!) Yes, you can collect them. I have two sets (1 Aluminum & 1 Bronze) in my collection as part of my "Transportation" topical collection. # 12:07 Netherlands Antilles is located in the Caribbean Sea north of South America.
US did have "weird" denominated coins and currency: Coins = 1/2 Cent (1790s - about 1850s), 2 Cents (1864 - 1867), 3 Cents (Both silver and copper-nickel in the mid - late 1800s), 20 Cents (Mid 1800s), $2.50 gold ("Quarter Eagle" 1790s - 1930s). Paper Money has numerous "weird" denominations issued by private banks and the US during the 1800s (19th Century). Most of these coins and currency are expensive.
The two 10 yen coins you found: first one is Showa 59 (1984) and the second one is Showa 52 (1977). Worth about 9-10 cents US. Japan, in case you haven't noticed, dates their coins based on the reign of their emperors. In these cases, Showa is the gengo (era name) of the reigning emperor. The number following the era name is how many years the emperor has been on the throne at that point. The circulating coinage today is late Showa (昭和) to the entirety of the Heisei (平成) eras. They have just begun striking coins with the new era name, Reiwa (令和).
Appreciate it. Been filming a new series (first one coming out on Wednesday) and have had a lot of fun doing it... had to buy some better mixed lots to ensure good quality but been enjoying it.
They make 15 kopek and all those low denominations because I think back in the soviet times a piece of bread cost 88 kopeks or 88 cents. It was cheap but expensive in the USSR.
Hey Buddy. All UK coins bearing Kings or Queens Heads do not state the Country unless they are from the British Commonwealth. So when you find a coin with King or Queen heads but no Country you can be assured that they are from the UK
I one got 30 foreign coins for $10.... 1839 six pence, and 2 other 1880s coins, along with a nazi coin, and multiple other old coins. Not many were even newer than the 60s. Great lot, and probably the best $10 i ever spent lol
I have stated this before on your great coin searches . any coin showing a British Monarchs Head but not showing any Country is always from the UK. Every Coin from the British Commonwealth will always show the Country name...
I generally do! Recently I haven't been doing it (or at least not on a ton of these vids) but going forward always. I filmed through Vid 30 I think already since I went away to college!

Correction: the United Kingdom decimalised in 1971 and the two shilling coin lost its legal tender status for ten decimal pence in 1992.
Just keep uploading world coins videos, I love them all. :)

Always appreciate the info!
Nice. I found a 1955 Canadian quarter yesterday
Oh wow that's cool! Are you based in Canada or in the US? And if so how did you find it (coin roll hunting? world coin searching?)
Treasure Town I'm in the US. East Coast. I found it looking through some of my paps old cars. Found it in a 58' Studebaker
I was so excited to see all this coin s 👼
That's my pal!!

Thanks again! I am very limited in knowledge on the Japanese stuff... appreciate all of your insight.
That 1892 penny is from the uk with queen victoria on it!
I have a few of them myself

Good to know - did not know that.

Sounds like you got some valuable stuff!

Thanks so much again! They were all filmed a while ago so I definitely know more in the coming videos! You're the man.
“I’ve become good friends with this guy”
Spanish people: triggered
Hahahaha I remember making that comment
I love the world coin series😎but please always wear gloves to deal with them but fantastic video
I generally do! Recently I haven't been doing it (or at least not on a ton of these vids) but going forward always. I filmed through Vid 30 I think already since I went away to college!
u want pre-1961 USSR coins, much more rare...but pre-1917 (russian empire) are the best - catherine the great ones r so pretty
12:25 yes I think you should do it
The 1892 coin is a British penny, Queen Victoria.
Thanks for the info!
@@TreasureTownCoins No problem! Great videos!
Nice lot!
Sure was!
No, it would never catch on. It's like the $2 bill. They still make it I think, but virtually no one uses it.
I think you're right.
I ❤ weird denominations good vid idea
That could a really cool one.
I've noticed that the odd denominations (3, 15, etc) seem to be the exclusive domain of the Soviet bloc. Just a personal observation.
Kenton Cernea I’ve noticed that too! I have a 3 peso note.
1892 is a young Victoria coin from great brettion.
Thanks for the info!
Our country (South Africa) used to have a silver 2½¢ coin
That's really cool!
que legal lindas moedas
So, you've become great friends with Spanish dictator Francisco Franco ;)
Haha yeah I guess we're best friends at this point!
The one penny is British there worth saving because there not able to be spent
Awesome! Thanks for the tip.
Sweet
Glad you enjoyed!
I believe Martinique used to have a 27 Franc banknote
And WOW I did not know about that. Will have to do some research!
Fiji has a 7 dollar note!
You asked if we wanted to see ? Yes please show us what you have. Thanks
I believe the 1892 coin is a Canadian
OK... thanks so much!
