gxseries Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Pulled a British 1992 10 pence from circulation the other day. It's bigger than a Aussie 10 cents so I'm not too sure how it got into a roll or any vending machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 but why would someone bother... 10p is greater then 10 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 but why would someone bother... 10p is greater then 10 cents True, but if Oz is the same as here then it's probably difficult to find somewhere that will convert change from one currency to another, maybe someone just wanted to get rid of it. Unfortunate for the poor person on the other end who gets short-changed with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Or how I once got an Oz 5 cent coin in change as a dime here in the USA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRnholio Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I was roll searching one time and found a 2005 Brazil 10 centavos in a roll of Canadian pennies. I can say I never expected that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I've received some American coins, Euros and pre-Decimal coins in my change over the past few years. I keep them all for their novelty factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I must admit I do like it when I stumble upon pre-decimal coins in change! Very rare these days though. Occasionally farthings, halfpennies and shillings substitute for pennies, two pences and ten pences, and they're a very welcome find indeed!

ScottO Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 yea.. havn't seen one for many a year.. last one was a 1933 halfpenny, in Fine grade from one of those 2p machines in blackpool lol havn't recieved an old size 5p for a while either, those are common 10p replacements. i just love channel island ind isle of man comping up.. so low mintage because of low population, they are nice to keep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I get 2 euro cents as pennies in the UK from time to time. I don't mind at all! Would rather always get Euro as change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 some of the dates in the euro coinage are pretty scarce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Not 2000 and 2001 are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 nope, depends on the country though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I wonder how often the large size British 5p and 10p show up in Australia as 10c and 20c? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
