Found Coins Update

It's been a while since I've made a post about my lucky found coin finds. I've now been keeping track of the total of my finds in a spreadsheet. Here's the latest grand total:

Grand Total Since Recording January 19, 2009

• CAN: $142.05 
• USD: US$0.96 
• POUNDS: £0.31 
• Jiao: $0.06 
• Mex: MEX$1.00 
• BD$: $0.01 
• Euro €0.05

For those of you who regularly find Canadian coins, you may want to check out my checklist of potentially valuable Canadian coins.  As always, the general rule for valuable coins is that "anything out of the ordinary should be put aside for further investigation."

The most interesting coin I've found recently has been the Bermudian cent (listed in the total above under BD$).  You can start finding out about the interesting history behind this currency on the Bermudian dollar Wikipedia article.
