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.
