Coinage

I'm going to make an OCDL list of all the special coins and such that I have. (roughly defined as 1976 for my birth year / pre-1970 / "special" millennium or Olympics coins, foreign coinage, etc.) I generally set myself a limit of 10 per coin, unless it's the US float.


Edit on Aug. 5, 2008: List no longer accurate, thanks to Steve the kleptomaniac! (and why Korey didn't tell me about that tendency before, I don't know - time to dump him!)

Notes

The number percentage is obtained by just dividing the number of coins / bills in a certain category by the total number of coins / bills.

47 pennies in a total of 101 coins: 4.7 divided by 101 = 46.5% (rounded, of course)

The dollar percentage is obtained by dividing the monetary value of a certain category of coins / bills by the total face value of the lot.

51¢ in pennies in a total face value of $23.63: 51 divided by 23.63 = 2.2% (rounded, of course)

Total face value includes U.S. coins.
Only Canadian and US miscellany is counted at face value.
