I went to the beach today and found about $1.00 in change and an odd foreign coin. After further research on the internet I have identified it as a 1942 Japan 100 yen nickel. Does anyone know what it may be worth? It has a small hole in it as if it was worn as a charm on a necklace; otherwise it is in pretty good shape. I tried to upload pic's but kept getting error message. Sorry
 
I took the coin to several coin dealer just to find out it is an authentic 1942 Japan 100 yen nickel and it is worth zero, zilch, squat, nata :thumbdown: The coin dealers did let me know that that currency was only circulated between 1926 - 1949 and gave me a little history lesson with it. They said it may also have held some sentimental value to someone since it was worn like a charm, not to mention we were at war with Japan at the time. I have to remind myself and appreciate the history behind coins / relics found instead of just looking for a profit.
