Coins
On 12 February, 2000, I cleaned out my daypack (it zippers onto the back of my backpack). I've used it almost every day for the last two years, including when I traveled Europe in 1998 . Coins are not exchangable, so mine ended up in the bottom of the daypack. I had cleaned it out before, however, left the coins until I had time to sort them out. Here are the coins that I found:
Belgian Francs: one 20f; three 5f; one 1f
British Sterling: one 1 pound; one 20 pence; one 2 pence
Czech Koruna: one 50 kc; four 20 kc; one 10 kc; one 5 kc; seven 2 kc; four 1 kc; two .20 kc
Deutsche Penning: four 10 penning
French Francs: one 2fr; two 1fr; one ½ fr
Hungarian Forints: one 50fts; one 5fts; two 2fts; two 1 fts
Italian Lira: one 100 Lire
Netherlands Guilders: two 1g; six 25ct; two 5ct

Polish Zloty: one 2 zl; four 50gr; three 5gr; three 1gr
Portuguese Escudos: one 200 esucdos; two 100 esucdos; one 20 esucdos; two 10 esucdos; one 5 esucdos; one 2.5 esucdos
Spanish Pesetas: three 10pts; nine 5pts; one 1pt

Am I rich? Not yet. Those coins total approximately $23.61 US.
