I recently came across this thread while browsing: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic36241.html

I thought I would create a version of foreign finds for 2020 for people who finds coins who should not be in their change.

Earlier in the year I received a Thai 10 baht coin instead of a two euro coin. I wasn't impressed with that one.

I heard that scammers replace 2 Euro coins with coins such as the 10 baht coin due to their similar dimensions but much lower value. Does this often happen to you?

Due to COVID, my use of coinage this year is far below normal levels, and so too is my tally of foreign finds. I recall there being a 2007 Swiss half franc at the CoinStar a few months ago, but at this point, I'm excited to find *any* coins in the few times I'm away from home.

Why? There's no evidence the CoViD is transmitted on coins. It's the same risk at taking in a door knob.

Unless he found one of these:

I am only leaving my house only a few times a month. Most of my purchases have been online, where cash isn't a practical option. For in-store purchases, I'm still using my credit card; since there is a nationwide coin shortage, businesses I visit are asking customers to limit cash payments to those times when they have exact change only.

I see. It's good you play it safe mate, both for your sake and others in your surrouding.

I've heard many people talking about the coin shortage, but I yet haven't foubd any sources to really confirm it. Is it just regional shortages, or is it really a nation wide one?

Is there a way to identify a coin if a share a pic of an unknown coin. I have an old coin from Mughal period around 1500-1540 AD and I cannot read the language written on it.
kindly help!

Since my childhood I have been a keen collector of coins and stamps. Starting getting from friends and relatives, and many a times i would swap chocolates, candies, cookies, books, junk jewelry, a scarf or a toy for a new coin with my school friends.
