I would say that there are four factors at play for why older Jamaican coins are usually found in such pour condition, especially in foreign bins...
It has to be the climate and the fact that they actually use the coins, as opposed to other Caribbean states that use US and UK coinage and only...
I have noticed the same thing. Maybe it is the meat "jerking" thing they do that erodes the coins. A lot of spices...
I do not collect them...
After all these replies. South African coins make "cents" to me now.
