    In going through my dads things, I found some random coins that I have listed below. I'd like to get input from you folks. I've looked them up on Internet, but it would helpful if you've had any experience with them. Thanks

    1989 Barbadoes 5 cents
    1980 Panama in centesimo URRCA
    1983 Zambia (with ardvark on reverse side) 1 cent (NGWEE)
    1970 Canadian 1 cent
    1994 Canadian 1 cent
    1971 new penny (1/2) ( England?)

    Pictures would help, but probably not worth as much as the sentimental value.

    There's really nothing there.
    You want old coins, rare coins, coins that contain precious metals,
    coins that are in fantastic condition. Coins that have errors.
    The coins you listed seem to be common.

    Okay, that's what I thought. I'll keep looking, thanks

    I am assuming you are talking about value.
    There are people who collect, not for value, but because it's something they enjoy.
    I recently found a coin with a rhino on it. It's not worth anything, but everyone I have showed it to likes it.
    So there is more to collecting that just money, but I assumed from your post, that's what you were asking about.

    No problem. Although value is primary, I've fond memories of playing with my mom's wheat pennies as a child. I'd sit on the floor for hours with them. Wish I had all those coins today. I miss her. Thanks for your input.
