Yep. If you show the other side I should be able to tell you what denomination and year it is... if that sort of thing matters. Also, I'm sure you know about the silver centers on the 10 pesos from 92-95. And your hat looks like it might belong to Indiana Jones!

Cool. Is that raised off of the coin, or stamped in?

It almost looks like it was glued to the existing surface in the pictures.

What do you guys do with all these coins, tokens that you get? Do you clean up the US ones and spend them? Do you take them to the bank as is? Do you mail in the bad ones to the government for payment back? Do you collect and keep the foreign coins and tokens or do you sell or scrap them? I have wondered about this since you guys started doing this! Keep up the good work it is amazing what can be found out there!

We tried sending the culls to the mint only got a fun story out of it. See http://realcent.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9936&hilit=mint+zinc We keep all the foreign coin and have them sorted by country. We have sold some of the Canadian coins but will hold for now with the Canadian at a .9 of the US$. And we have boiled some of the fused coins and use them. see-- http://realcent.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=25209&hilit=+boiling

Whenever I get coins that are stuck together.. I just put them in some tap water and let them soak for.. until I remember that I am soaking them, and they usually come apart very easily!

Wow, 3.20 in Euro?? That's awesome! Keep saving those Eurocoins; perhaps you could eventually (partially) pay for a trip to Europe! :)
