    I'm from Belgium, and we change coins often :p So the oldest I've ever found in circulation is probably something from the 80's, maybe with a little luck 70's.

    What I did find in circulation is a Thai 10 bath coin in the early years of the Euro. They look a like and vending machines were not able to see the difference. The only you should take in mind that it's only worth 20 cents. So when buying a drink you actually get profit out of it :p

    1876 Dime found in change I got from McDonalds years ago, it was in poor 1 shape with a barely readable date.

    Ditto... found it just last year.

    And I guess it's worth mentioning that I live in Canada!

    1921 standing liberty quarter - although it was disfigured. looked like it had been hit with a hammer a few times. Still have it though.

    A few years back I had a few kennedy half-dollars that were of no important years or clarity. I went to McDonalds and it was all I had in my pocket.. when I handed it to the lady, she refused to take it. She said that she couldn't take play money. I asked for her manager trying not to laugh, and when he came over he laughed and finished ringing me up.
