| | An Aussie in America - Coins |
 | | In Vancouver (Canada) I would sometimes get Australian coins (can't remember which denom.) that were close but definitely not close enough size to a 25c coin, may have been the 10c Aus. |
 | | American coins are oriented such that you need to flip them top-to-bottom to keep the orientation correct for viewing. |
 | | The appearance of copper coins (in change, in pockets, on bedside tables, in ashtrays, in old jam jars, under cushions, down the backs of car seats, et cetera) is quite a nostalgia kick for Australians who said a fond farewell to their 1c and 2c coinage around 1990. |
