[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4137988, member: 10461"]There are lots. They happen to be African. ;) But yes, I know what you meant. Not too many of us Western, English-speaking, coin-collecting folks with African childhoods, anyway. In 1974, when I turned 9, we lived aboard a 40' trimaran sailboat in the Bahamas. Your Coin #4 above reminded me of that. I don't remember seeing too many of those square/lozenge-shaped 15c pieces, but I do remember that a [URL='https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces9224.html']scalloped-shaped 10c piece [/URL]would buy a comic book. I need to get one of those and slab it, too. Even the proofs are common. In fact, I used to have a bunch, but gave them away.
