<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 2086501, member: 71234&quot;]One reason why a lot of European coppers are found in good condition is that travellers would return from another country with a handful of change that it was simply not worth doing anything with, so they might be left in a drawer for the next 70 years. With Europe being relatively small compared with the USA with many countries, all with non interchangable coins, I doubt if there are many older houses or people in Britain without a small box of assorted foreign coins somewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even with the current Euro coins being spendable almost anywhere except here, we have the odd pile of Euros here and there to keep the old tradition going, because we usually forget to round them up and take them with us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Usually if US coins are found here, in people&#039;s odds and ends, they are in well above average condition because once they found their way here, circulation stopped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
