I Got This Chinese(?) Coin In A Roll Of Quarters.

Chinese, yes, but actually from Taiwan.

That is a Taiwanese 10-yuan piece. Y#553, struck in copper-nickel. That's Chiang Kai-shek on the obverse.

If I decipher the numerals correctly (not my strong suit), I make that out to be Year 71, and so from 1981 AD.

My 2009-ish Krause catalog says a VF is worth 30 cents, so hey, you've about broken even for your quarter's worth!

Year 71 would be 1982, no? I think you are supposed to add 11 years. Year 1 was 1912.

Thanks.
Maybe the next finder will post here when they find it in their roll.

You need to mark it with you chop so we can identify it.

Yeah, chop it!

Never got a Chinese coin in US change before. That sounds like a first!
