I guess this is UK

Strange nickel rolls today.. ;-)

Five hand-wrapped and five bank-wrapped rolls came home with me. In
addition to the US dates salvaged, I got one Canadian, one cent and one
dime (in the same roll, so I guess I'm 1¢ ahead!) and coin that's new to me.

It's a copper-colored 'Penny' with QE2 dated 1993. The size of a
nickel,no country named, the reverse is a portcullis draped by a broken
chain. UK? Aussie? Somewhere in the Caribbean? Any guesses from my
meager description?

Just for future reference, we Aussies always admit to ownership of our coins. (Can't
think of any orphans in my collection.)

UK, not England. Billy


I believe "England" is the 39 counties
that make up that section of the UK.

If you are visiting Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland never say to someone
that you are in "England". (smile face here).
