<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neal, post: 24863820, member: 43872&quot;]I&#039;m no expert, but I believe PaddyB is right on the id, except I question the denomination.&nbsp; It says on the coin, FYRA ORI, which my googled translator says means &quot;Four Ori,&quot; or, I would guess, 4 ore.&nbsp; As I said, I&#039;m no expert and there may be something I&#039;m missing here. It&#039;s hard to judge the size of a coin by a picture.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As for &quot;penny&quot; and &quot;nickel,&quot; these are just nicknames for coins in this country.&nbsp; (Britain and some of it colonies and former colonies have or had coins called pennies).&nbsp; Officially these are &quot;cent&quot; and &quot;five cent.&quot; The term &quot;nickel&quot; became a popular nickname when the U.S. switched from silver half dimes to copper nickel 5 cents, and was useful since they were produced concurrently for a while.&nbsp; The term &quot;dime&quot; was invented in 1792 (originally &quot;disme) to be the official term for the new ten cent denomination, so it would only be used by the U.S. or some country (like Canada) which imitated our coin denominations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
