    Wife and I went to the local pub tonight. Beautiful evening and they had a live reggae band .. I checked my change when I got home (like I always do) and was bummed to find they slipped me a foreign coin instead of a quarter.

    Sweden, 1947, 1 Krona. Silver! I think they paid me to drink my beer tonight :)

    You came out a winner. I don’t know what the fineness is, but it is silver.

    Nice surprise. I'd find it a nice surprise even if it wasn't silver.

    Yeah, it's always fun to see a date like 1947 when you don't expect it.

    Nice surprise. Actually the coin has more value than the silver content, so that's an added bonus
