More Pocket Change Finds

It's why I love NYC during tourist season, now if you can only get rid of the tourist.

First was a Canadian penny from 1986 no biggie from a local store one among 4 other I've found.

Second 1 Phillipine Piso 1995 given as a quarter in a card shop.

Third 250 Lebanon Livres 2003 has an uncirculated look in hand, given as a dollar coin but almost taken back when the cashier realized it was not a Sac. dollar but I insisted on keeping it.

I have no doubt one day I will find real gold in my change.

  • Just ran a currency conversion on the 250 Livres:

    250.00 LBP (Lebanon Pounds) = 0.165837 USD


    United States Dollars
    1 LBP = 0.000663350 USD 1 USD = 1,507.50 LBP

    Nice looking coin but you got hosed.
    GO AHEAD! I DOUBLE-DOG DARE YOU TO RATE ME A 1!

    Well, good luck to you, buddy!! image

    Are you a cashier? I've taken jobs as a cashier in the past simply to get close to the money supply, and I've also found interesting things.

    No but the girls are. I always talk to the ladies behind the counters and bringing up coins is easy. I have a good network of local stores that hold anything good for me.

    Went to Rockefeller Center today stopped at Starbucks and got a 1942 Canadian penny in my change.

    By the way I'm a college student who lives on grants and part-time messenger jobs.
  • Nice finds.
