Either you have a lot of foreign travelers that live around you or a local coin shop has a grab bag of coins that sell cheaply :dontknow:

for some reason erie has alot of foreigners coming here. quite a few lately from nepal and myanmar some thailand as well, it seems every month there is a picture in the local paper of new citizens being sworn in at the federal court house, and several multicutural agencies to help them adjust. all the foreign coins came from playgrounds except the hungarian one which i found at my sisters. and no two coins came from the same playgrounds/parks. erie has nearly 20 parks in the city alone.
