<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 223673, member: 1824&quot;]Topher,Fijian coins were the most common British Commonwealth Pacific Islands coins that we got in change over here.Only once did I get a Papua New Guinean 5 Toea in change.I don&#039;t recall getting any coins from Tonga or Western Samoa in change.I did get a Cook Islands 1c. in change just under 20 years ago.The younger of my 2 sisters got a 1979 1c. coin from South Africa in change,which I still have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aussie 5c.,10c.,&amp; 20c. used to turn up all the time in change.I used to spend them as well,along with some Fijian 5c.,10c.,&amp; 20c. coins.One time I passed an Aussie $1 coin (which is bigger than ours) in the school tuckshop for a chocolate bar.I had passed it heads side up.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can remember once getting a British large 10 Pence coin in change as 20c..Sometimes we saw the British large 5p.,1/-,&amp; 2/- coins in change,but not the Irish ones though.</p><p><br /></p><p>I never got any Solomon Islands coins in change,however.</p><p><br /></p><p>We used to have the old New Zealand 6d.,1/-,&amp; 2/- coins turn up in change quite often.They were legal tender as 5c.,10c.,&amp; 20c. coins respectively.In the last few years before the old coins were pulled,the pre-decimal coins became extremely uncommon to find in change.</p><p><br /></p><p>I miss the old days of checking my change.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
