And I thought the £2 coin was big!

angledgeToday I found the coin on the right in my pocket (a pair of shorts I hadn't worn since last summer) & I was given the coin on the left in change from the Post Office:
That's right, that's a £5 coin. That's worth about $8.50-9.00 in USD. It's also the biggest coin going since the Easter Islanders stopped carving those crazy stone ones. It has been issued to honor 100 years of Entente Cordiale, the treaty between the UK & France.

Date: 2004-06-16 05:58 am (UTC)I've got some coinage from either France or Belgium (I think) that is actually SMALLER than a US dime!
I also have a British (?) coin from 1910 or so that if my memory serves me correctly is a giant penny the size of a US half dollar.
I'll have to try to dig up my coin collection and post some pics. Though, I have no idea where it is at the moment.
