Sebastian, In Canada, while 50 cent pieces do not circulate, they are readily obtainable at low prices. The nickel issues from 1968 to the 1980s can often be obtained for $1 or less!
-
Definately after market. Nickel is an easy metal to gold-plate. Andre - nice set you have there! Any intentional of going further back?

Well, they can't really be beat for the price/grade (for early dated), and they're silver! -

1504 Hungary Denar with a doubled A in "PATRONA", and doubling on some reverse letters as well. Hungary and Poland IMO are the easiest (and least expensive) Western Arabic dated coins in AD. [Edit: I changed my coin and pic] -
If I remember correctly, there are some "brass" zinc'ers that are the result of zinc getting into the copper for plating, resulting in a brass plating.

Got a 2003W $1. Pretty scruffed up, looks like it's been liberated from a PL set a few months earlier.

Finding an al cent is way cool! Zinc cents are pretty neat as well.

That's a bigtime ripoff. (not so much for value, but being intentional)
-
Neat!

Nice half eagle. Would be more interesting if the finish was also old-school!
-
Good stuff!

Interesting to see that the 50 peso is still paper

There's one coin I've expected to find, but have never found in circulation. So I've going to release these into the wild over the next 2-3 weeks in hopes that perhaps some kids will come across them:

Speaking of Nevada, I got a "D" Nevada quarter and a '70S 1c today. First time in years that I got a state quarter in change in the year of issue.
-
Thanks for the explanation Ian!
-
I believe the Chamber of Commerce pieces (50c-2F) are technically tokens, but as it was basically the coinage of the day, it has become accepted as part of the regular coinage series.

1965 (Canadian) 10c. First piece of silver for quite some time
-
I thought you were going to do some weird experiements!
-
Now that last one's weird. As a cent, sure, but as a nickel?! Myself, I used to keep the EUR2c as pocket pieces until I lost a bunch because I kept on accidentally spending them as cents.
-
Very interesting pieces!
