<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 145509, member: 4626&quot;]5 baht coin from Thailand.&nbsp; Don&#039;t know Thai so can&#039;t read the year, lol, but as I recall that type has been minted from about the mid 1980&#039;s to the present.&nbsp; Got quite a few of these as well as other denominations when I visited Thailand in January 2001.&nbsp; Last I checked there were about 40 bahts to the US dollar, making that coin worth about 13 cents.&nbsp; Not that good a deal if you paid 25 cents for it, lol, but the novelty makes up for it if you didn&#039;t have one before I guess.&nbsp; Good find in US circulation!</p><p><br /></p><p>As to how it got in a roll of US quarters, no clue, lol... but wouldn&#039;t be the first time foreign coins managed to sneak into US circulation.&nbsp; Have quite a few coins in my world coin collection that I acquired that way.&nbsp; Probably the records for longest travel distance would be a 20 sen coin from Malaysia (mistaken for a quarter) and a 10 cent coin from Singapore that made it to where I work as a cashier.&nbsp; Have received coins from Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Bermuda, Jamaica, East Caribbean States, etc. that got mistaken for US coinage and ended up in circulation.&nbsp; Always an exciting find for me![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
