Here’s a piece of trivia you might not know: the Philippines was the only country besides the United States to use the electric chair for capital punishment. Of course, the US introduced it to the country.

 

Here's its little brother. Found it in a little coins shops junk bin yesterday. Paid 25 cents for it.

These are cool! Just how many overseas coins came from the US Mint?

 

There must be a way to search for that online. The US minted coins for many, many countries during WWII. Guess generous old Uncle Sam provided the silver too. Here is a 1943 D Australian six pence. I am sure I have other S, D and P coins, such as Holland and Curacao, maybe others.
