Below are a couple of coins I found from circulation this year.
Has anyone else found any old coins still circulating?

I found a sixpence a couple of weeks ago.
I think it was 1916.
I have found 1 1966 round 50c around a year ago.

I have found two NZ florins from circulation in the last twelve months.

I found a ratty 1960's shilling once in a tip jar in a restaurant (asked if I could swap it for a $2 coin).  I've also seen a 1963 florin in a charity box at a cafe.  Never actually got a pre-decimal in change though.

I found a Pommy shilling in the till at work last year, but I can't remember what year the coin was.
