Hi there, I was interested in seeing what foreign coins other Money Trackers have gotten in their change; I find it quite fascinating when this occurs. This list is of what I/ people I know have gotten in change. -NZ: 5c, 10c, 20c old. Also some silly person must have spent a new 50c piece as a 10c, got one of them, and found a $2 on the road. -Fiji: Assorted small change -Vanuatu: 10vatu -Malaysia: 10 sen Reply | Reply with quote

I got an American Sacagawea dollar last night. I knew what it was straight away, so I was happy to get it for my collection; I just swapped if for an Aussie dollar. Reply | Reply with quote
