What is the most foreign coin you have found?
Today I went through a $50 bag that had several rolls that were mostly Canadian. Overall there was over 8% of the coins were Canadian.
I live within 50 miles of Canada so we definitely see more than others might, but this was by far the most I had ever seen.

We used to have penny slots here in Vegas and for a few weeks I found AU 1964 Canadians by the dozen. Ended up with over 200 total with about half in really nice condition.

The most foreign coin I found while searching for copper cents was a silver Australian sixpence.

8% Canadian is a lot! I doubt I’ve ever had more than 1-2%.

It was crazy...roll after roll that were 80% canadian, if was as if a sorter had given up and turned in the findings

Always good to find higher grade copper.
