One-cent coins from a whole world.

Hallo, my friends:hail:
We know that USA's dollar is the one of main world's currency. But, old Russian proverb says: "if you want to retain your rouble, you must to retain your kopek". So, I suppose that this proverb is rather clever:smile And (as for USA's dollar), this proverb must be a regular too: "if you want to retain your dollar, you must to retain your cent!" Isn't it?:nerd:

I've never been very interested in non-US coins, but there's a lot of beautiful stuff out there. I've got a bag of miscellaneous foreign coins coming in as part of a larger lot next week; I hope there are some coins as attractive as the one you just posted. If any of them are denominated as one cent, I'll post them here!
