 | | Traditionally the side of a coin carrying a bust of a monarch or other authority, or a national emblem, is called the obverse, or colloquially heads. | | | By replacing some fraction of a coin's precious metal content with a base metal (often copper or nickel), the intrinsic value of each individual coin was reduced (thereby "debasing" their money), allowing the coining authority to produce more coins than would otherwise be possible. | | | The milled edges still found on many coins were originally designed to show that none of the valuable metal had been shaved off the coin. |

| | But the Canadian change I have in front of me now is worth less: a few dimes and quarters, and pennies that can be used interchangeably with US pennies because no one ever pays in pennies a sum large enough that the exchange rate would matter. | | | If I look at the coin long enough, and it’s cold enough outside, the glare from the fluorescent light and the shiny surface of the coin becomes the glare from the summer sun and the glittering surface of the lake. | | | Do I really like money all that much? |

| | An Aussie in America - Coins |
| | In Australia, the two faces of a coin are oriented so that the "top" of each side is on the same side of the coin. | | | Mainly because the peso is so devalued their coinage is worth less than pennies in the US, and their coins are oddly shaped (one has a wavy edge, kind of like a flower) and another is coloured both gold and silver. | | | In Vancouver (Canada) I would sometimes get Australian coins (can't remember which denom.) that were close but definitely not close enough size to a 25c coin, may have been the 10c Aus. |
