    That's pretty cool. It's from Syria or Egypt and dates to 1997.

    It's a Syrian 5 Pounds coin dated 1996/1416 and made of copper-nickel. It's collector worth is about $1 and exchange value is about .10.

    That is a nice 'Axis of Evil' coin.

    That is a very nice coin from one of the countries named as part of the 'Axis of Evil' by President George W. Bush.

    What are the odds a coin collector is going to pick up one of those in a random handfull of change? Wow. I guess somebody went to Syria recently.
