And once again Germany, but German States this time. A coin minted in Trier in 1694 . . . Dang it! ChrisopherCollectsCoins beat me to it.

So, next stop, Poland. A 1988 100-zlotych - minted in Warsaw (Y 182). But I think they're all minted in Warsaw.

Finland - 5 Markka, 1939-S

 

Latvia 20 euro cent 2014

 

Those Baltic countries would appear to be nice places to live. Thoughts - coin_nut & expat? I'm specifically asking you two because I know one lives in Thailand and the other Spain. But I'd appreciate the thoughts of anyone else, too.

From Latvia to Estonia with this here 1998 kroon (KM 35).

 

I went to Tallinn, Estonia a couple of years ago. The people there and the other Baltic states say they have a better lifestyle now than prior to the late 90's. Less Russian influence, entry to the EU and the Eurozone has all helped.

 

Don't know what happened to the rest of my text but the countries have a wonderful mix of old and modern architecture and some great nature.
On now to Sweden, 5 Kroner 1966

 

GB. Prior to the introduction of the round halfpenny and farthing, small change was provided by cutting pennies in halves or quarters along the lines of the reverse cross. Henry III long cross cut halfpenny.

 

1746 Holland AR 2 stuiver. I have never visited any of the Baltic countries and I imagine they would have cold winters and some places, like Finland, Poland and Sweden, have lots of wild undeveloped country. All the people I have met from those places were quite nice, same as the average people everywhere in the world. We are all quite similar, when you get right down to it.

 

1891 Norway 2 Ore

 

1897 GB penny

 

I hadn't thought of that; duh. Cold. Miserably cold. But then there's the opposite; miserably hot and humid.
Thanks, y'all!
