Found this abused 1936 coin in some pocket change...it is magnetic...can someone tell me what it is? Thank you in advance!
It's from China, but I can't tell you the denomination off the top of my head. But if you knew the year then you'd probably know the country too.
I only know the year bc somebody told me...but I couldn't understand much else (and I was too embarrassed to ask again and mostly likely wouldn't understand him if he repeated it 100 times)
You found that in pocket change?? Really?? Here in the U.S. ? Where are you shopping, Beijing? Where ever you're shopping, I would stay out of that neighborhood! I've been looking thru pocket change for years. Not that it couldn't happen, but I would say finding a Chinese coin in your pocket change (here in the U.S.) is very rare. The only foreign currency I have ever found (while here at home) are Canadian coins. Interesting topic though. I think I'll post a new threat on that topic. It would be interesting to learn what kind of foreign currency people "here in the states" find in their pocket change.
Where I live, you find a lot of older retired marines, I've come across many odd and unique coins....but sadly never gave them thought. Now that coins (well the error portion of coins) caught my attention...I'm going to keep an eye on everything
Interesting. I must be living in a bubble. Either that, or I'm not wearing my glasses when I'm looking thru my pocket change. Thanks for the feedback.
Does it actually stick to a magnet or is it just attracted to a magnet as silver is? There's a listing in my very outdated Krause for a China 1936 silver 20 Fen Y350. It's the size of a quarter and has an A mintmark below the spade for the Vienna mint.
NEVER be afraid to ask questions about things like this,none of us were born knowing it all and as time goes by -we forget stuff too.looks like someone really hated this guy a lot,eh?....
Thank you!! It's just a little intimidating sometimes to ask about a subject I'm just learning. Hahaha somebody gave me that cent
