Countries found in US rolls

Being roll searchers we all have found coins other than what should have been in the roll. It got me thinking (it has been a while since I had a thought): How many different countries are represented by the coins found in US coin rolls by CoinTalk members?

I have found (in no particular order):

Canada

Mexico

Great Britain

Germany

Panama

Philippines

Greece (Euro)

Italy

Russia

Ireland

Singapore

Norway

Hong Kong



I’m sure there are lots more out there…I would bet (not much) there are at least 50, and probably well over that number, represented. Anyone care to add your additional countries to the list?

I was coin roll hunting today and I found a coin from the Bahamas so add that country

 

Australia and Switzerland, also South Africa

 

mostly Canada

 

just canadian

 

Barbados, Zambia, and many more that I can not think of off the top of my head.

 

United Arab Emirates

 

Korea (I forget which one)

 

I was fortunate to receive a coin in a roll from the former USSR many years ago. The same coin roll also had a New York city subway token.

 

Not too much quality control with your banking system for coins is there? I think the only foreign coins I have ever had in error are from Gibraltar (arguably part of UK anyway) and Australia who use, or at least used to use same weight, shaped and numbered coins as us.

 

I forgot, I had a plastic play money dime that said, "World of Play Money" with weird photo of Roosevelt with a creepy smile on his face. I'm 99% sure it's made in china but not sure if that counts or not.

 

You should post in alphabetical order, too tough to search the list.

And easier to add the new ones

 

I did a box just now and found Spain and a 1959 British Caribbean Territories coin.

 

I found in a quarter roll a Republica Dominicana Veinticinco Centavos - Dominican Republic 25C

 

New alphabetized list with recent additions.

Please add Bermuda. One cent, ten-cent and 25-cent coins pop-up from time-to-time.

 

Never seen the Mexican or Central American coins some of you find, but lots of Canadians here, and because I'm in a major city, there's a few UK and European Union coins that turn up from time to time. Bahamas and Bermuda are the most common of the others.

 

Ecuador

These were post-2000 centavo coins? Which are an easy substitution, in that they are not only the same denominations and dimensions as US coins, but are actually literal divisions of the US dollar--the official currency of Ecuador. Ecuador mints their own fractional coinage, but denominations of $1 and up are physically imported.
