    I'm going through my pile of coins found in rolls. I stopped keeping Canada dimes that I find so I leave them in the roll.

    Panama was the only country I found that I did not already state and someone else found it too.

    I got some other foreign coins from the Constar reject tray. I do not think they count though but I will say them for fun.
    Here are my two favorite coinstar coins
    Tasalvalta
    Republica Srbija (that this is how it's spelled)

    I find a lot of Canadian coins. I live in Wisconsin and have probably found close to $3 in Canadian coins, but I have only found 1 peso. I wonder if people in texas or other southern states find more Mexican currency than Canadian? Or if the Canadian currency is more common since it looks similar to US Coins.

    I also found this Icelandic Krona. I am a huge fisherman so I really like the art on it, I hear they are really worthless though haha. Kind of neat though.

    So I guess I have only found:
    Canadian
    Mexican
    Iceland

    In terms of monetary value, yes. Then again, the list posted here says "Greece (Euro)" but simply "Italy". Assuming that the latter refers to lira coinage, that would have a monetary value of precisely zero. Same with "USSR". But I agree, that 1 krona coin is neat. :)

    I am sorry if this one was already listed. I just want to help get to 30!

    I am at work so I can't really do research on it, but my brother found this in a box of nickels. He said it was from some island but couldn't remember what it was.

    Again, sorry if it was already listed. It's got some pretty art on it :)

    Right, Norway. That bird can be visited in a museum in Oslo, by the way. ;)

    "Does a St Jude Medallion count?"

    Hmm, what country would that be? And where would it be legal tender?
    I don't seem to find the country of St. Jude on any recent map, at least not this planet.
    I guess we'll have to pass.
