Hello, looking through a few of some new and old coins my grandmother/uncle collected, I've found a few foreign coins I have no idea about. I'll post a scan of all of the coins together, and could get some closeups if needed. Most of the coins are pretty new (1950-70), from the dates I saw, but some I'm not sure of. Thank you, and looking foward to what I find out!:smile

Just one amendment to what Byrd has said, the coins are British and not English, there realy is a difference, the last English coins were produced a few hundred years ago. Since union with Scotland (Who also produced there own coins) in 1707 the coins produced here have not been classed as English but British
That #6 in byrd740's list should be a 10 lire coin from Italy. Has the country name, a plow, the mintmark and the year on the other side. Aluminum, made betwen 1951 and 2001. Christian
