Foreign Currency

[Xil]

Euros, Pounds, and Canadian Dollars.

Canadian Money is the bestest. It's like skittles. Taste the Rainbow:







Gold stars to whomever can name the Prime Ministers on the 50 & 100.

I have currency from EVERY single country.

My grandparents work for the United Nations.

Ooohh, foregin coins

I've got 3 full coin albums, 1 full paper-money booklet and a whole little container of foreign coins.

Let's start it off *flicks through albums*

I've got a lot of Polish coins. I'm talking, heaps! They've got really cool 2 Zloty coins (they're like silver coins, but with gold in the middle where the 2 is. )

I've got a few 10 pence pieces here and there.

A bit of Kiwi (New Zealand) money.

Some Fiji Money, Singaporean, Chinese, Turkish, Russian, Italian, Euro, German, Austrian, Argentinian, Dutch, and if I'm not mistaken I think I also have a bit of Vatican money in there too. There's probably more, but I'm not too good at figuring out where they're all from.

I've got a couple from before the 1850's, so some of this stuff is pretty ancient.

EDIT: Although, I guess I posted too late Neopets Addict seems to have beaten me.

I have American money (of course), but I also have tins upon tins of Korean and Vietnamese money that my sister illegally smuggled out of those countries.

We have quite a few Canadian pennies - I think mom gets them a lot because they give them to her at the store she works at. o_o Or she finds them a lot. Or something. I donno.

OH! That reminds me. I have a Canadian quarter somewhere on my desk. I got it back in change recently. Damned scary little beaver...
It was suprising, as I'd never gotten a Canadian quarter back in change before, I have gotten Canadian dimes before. I'm sure I still have at least one of them around here.

... Canadian quarters don't have beavers on them.
Those are nickels.
Canadian quarters have caribous or in the past few years, quite possibly a special design celebrating various things.
The dimes have the Blue Nose on them, which was a famous sailling ship that won a big race.

[Dyl]

Aside from the special coins, like the VE Day one and the Terry Fox one...
Pennies have maple leafs
Nickels have beavers
Dimes have the Bluenose
Quarters have caribou
Loonies have a loon
Toonies have a polar bear
Fives have Sir Wilfred Laurier
Tens have Sir John A. MacDonald
Twenties have Queen Elizabeth II
Fifties have W. L. Mackenzie King
Hundreds have Sir Robert Borden

I have some Canadian money too, possibly because I live here, as well as a lot of US money (it tends to make its way up here quite a bit).

I also have some Jamaican coins (I think), somewhere. I do know where my five hundred Italian Lira is, though. It's fun because it looks remarkably like a toonie, but is worthless, much like the Canadian dollar. Actually, the dollar is doing a lot better now.

My dad has tons of different bills and coins from all over the world.

[DM was on fire!]

I collect foreign coins, so I have a lot. It's mainly all Canadian, though.

You're right, I got myself confused. It is a nickel. I've had the quarters before though.

[Amethyst]

Mostly Canadian money-_- We get a lot of it near Cleveland for some reason....

[Kitten Medli]

I used to have a penny that said it was from The Bahamas.. :p But that doesn't count and they are common so I've never had foreign currency. Infact, I just gave up coin collecting yesterday.. hum..

[Igg]

I have Euros, Dollars and Pounds Sterling.

I have Scottish, English, Welsh and Gibraltan pound coins, and Scottish Notes.

[Alex]

Australian, New Zealand, Chinese, Hong Kong, American coins, some Euros, and I don't know what else.

[Ginger Harp Seal Pup]

I have some euros somewhere. Have no idea how I got them as none of my family has been abroad in the last five years.

[Dragonfire]

The most I have are Euros from my trip to France. I have some Canadian coins, Australian, Mexican, and Jamaican because we find them in our change when we take them to those Coinstar machines. I also have a blank check from Norway, if that counts. o.O
