Indonesia question--and a couple others?

kellymac

I visited Indonesia in 1994, and now that I've started coin collecting (well at least on a more formal level), I dug out my old piles of coins from all the countries I've visited, and starting setting up country type sets. The question is, I have 4 100rp coins, all dated 1978. Since I was there in 1994, it seems unlikely that I could chance upon bringing home 4 coins from the same year some 15 years earlier. Does Indonesia date all of its coins like we do, or is this maybe an independence year or something? (I thought their independence was in the 60's but it's a vague memory.) A design year?

LordM, did you really live in Indonesia? (Saw that on another post, but couldn't tell if it was for real or not.)

Why is it called the dark side??

Does anyone make album pages for country type sets?

Oh, and they are all circulated and worth about 1/2 cent I think, but I certainly don't need four. I'd be happy to trade for other Indonesian denominations, or other countries--but only countries I've visited. That list is pretty long, but if you're interested PM me and let me know what you'd like to trade.

Thanks in advance everyone,
Kelly

There were 907,773,000 of them minted that year. they were produced in that denomination from1973 to present.

Lightside and Darkside are just Board terms for US type coin collectors (lightside) and Foreign type coin collectors are (Darkside)

Yes they make album pages for country type sets, but only for Some countries ,not all.
