Message:: [QUOTE="andyscouse, post: 987089, member: 27100"]You seem to have a mix of Irish decimals, UK decimals and €uros (as well as that Canadian!).  The UK one is indeed that 2p, second from the left, dpeicting the badge of the Prince of Wales (ostrich feathers with legend "Ich Dien" - "I serve"). For the most part, they're not worth too much (but I wouldn't throw them away)! The bronze ½p, 1p and 2p in higher grades would be of interest to someone I am sure. Likewise, higher grades of the CuNi (5p, 10p, 50p). The 'gold' coloured one is the 20p, and there is also a £1 coin with a grooved edge and a stag on the reverse (different in composition, size, weight and edge to the UK £1). The €uro coins are copper-plated (1¢, 2¢, 5¢), nordic gold (10¢, 20¢, 50¢) and a mix of CuNi and Nordic (€1, €2) - these can be used today in any European country that uses the €uro. That doesn't include the UK, Denmark or Norway, but just about every other western European nation does. Oh, not Switzerland either. I'd be interested maybe in some of the higher grade from the 70's or 80's. Maybe list some sample denominations and dates ...[/QUOTE]
