Thanks, I love your coins and their history! You have certainly kept the the thread going backwards in time....alive and well!
2008 25 CFCA, current issue pocket change from Niger, showing 10 years of circulation wear. Rough life for a coin in the Sahara Desert.
Tanzania: 5 shilingi, FAO issue, 1972. I used to get one of these for my weekly allowance when I was a kid. We lived in Tanzania that year. I didn't keep any, though, so I was delighted when I found this one in a bulk bag.
