Cleaning around the house, I came across a Sucrets case (just this case alone must tell you the contents is old.) In it contains a bunch of coins foreign to the United States. Background: my brother was a U.S. Marine, and traveled throughout Asia around the early to mid-1980s. These coins are what he brought back home, and gave them to me when I was in high school.
Here's what I'm trying to do. Above is a scan of one side of all the coins. I tried not to have more than one of the same coin in this graphic. I created a grid - 1 through 5 on the top, and A through F on the rows. The first row of coins would be A-1, A-2, etc.
What I need to know for each coin are:
- Country name
- The type of money
- Its native value (pounds, pecos, won, etc.)
A-1 - Mexico, 20 pesos
A-2 - Philippines, 25 Sentimos ("cents") - not made anymore; older than E-2
A-3 - Philippines, 1 Piso ("peso") - not made anymore; older than C-2
A-4 - Hong Kong, 1 dollar
A-5 - Mexico, 1 peso
B-1 - Australian 2 cents, not sure, not made anymore
B-2 - Singapore, 20 cents
B-3 - Hong Kong 10 cents, as it says on the coin itself
B-4 - Thailand - Baht - and since that's not an English number, it's the 1 baht coin.
B-5 - Australian 20 cents
C-1 - Australian 50 cents, they don't normally look like this, there are a lot of special patterns, to commemorate some special occasions usually
C-2 - Philippines, 1 Piso - not made anymore
C-3 - Australian 1 cent, not sure, not made anymore
C-4 - should be Hong Kong 2 dollars
C-5 - Malaysia - 10 sen (still in use)
D-1 - Hong Kong, 50 cents
D-2 - Hong Kong, 10 cents
D-3 - Singapore, 50 cents
D-4 - Australian 5 cents
D-5 - Hong Kong, 1 dollar
E-1 - Korean - 10 Won
E-2 - Philippines, 25 Sentimos - not made anymore
E-3 - Singapore, 10 cents
E-4 - Philippines, 10 Sentimos - not made anymore
F-1 - Somalian (10) shilling.
