Taken for the Our Daily Challenge group. Challenge for 6th March is AGED
I found these coins in a plastic bag in a pacage containing 4 volcanic rocks picked up in Lanzarote about 8 years ago. Why they were in with the rocks is a mystery. They are all recent coins actually, the oldest is dated 1965. Most are the UK new decimal coinage which was introduced into circulation on 15th February 1971. I think there has been a reaction between the metals and the rocks.

Yes, the "crud" makes them look older than they are. I have a jar of coins that look like that ... found when I cleaned my uncle's place when he went into a nursing home.

Who would have guessed they are fairly current. Wonderful example of aging.
