Default First Non-US Coin

So I tried some coin roll hunting and pulled a French Franc coin from a dime roll. Got a Panamanian 5 Balboa in place of a nickel from a vending machine at work.

But a elementary school last evening gave up my first dug non-US coin, a $1 Jamacian coin at 3" . It came in at the zinc range with high 50s numbers on the F75. * update * found out that the Jamaican $1 coin came to be in 1990 and was a nickel-brass composition and was later changed in '93 to a metal slug combination.

At first I thought it was a religious metal it was as thick as two quarters.

Wasn't alot of clad. But there was some.

Found a couple kids rings and a button/pin that reads "Priority Male" .

So not a bad start to a four day weekend
