      Thanks for posting these. I have a jot of foreign coins my dad removed from the drink vending machines at his gas stations years ago….if they were the correct size to satisfy the machines, devious people could scam the machines for a “free” drink…but at my dad’s expense.

      At least now I have a bunch of interesting coins. I’ve been researching them to see which ones have silver content….they might have some scrap silver value.
