 | | 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. |

| | Sudden Philosophical Tangent |
| | 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. | | | Obviously the Canadian dime was not designed based on the summer experiences of a group of privileged American teenagers, but my psychological connection to the coin can nevertheless be illuminating. | | | If I look at the coin long enough, and its 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. |

| | For coins, I have a few slightly off - center pieces (no design missing), a couple of clipped planchets, a mild chipped die Roosevelt Dime (a hunk of die was missing between the D and his neck), and a Jefferson Nickel that seems to have had some foreign material caught in the die. | | | Basically, the less the coin was used, the more value it will have to a collector. | | | These 2x2's are cardboard with an inert plastic lining that you staple around the coin to keep air from passing around the coin's surface. |

| | Dime (Canadian coin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | According to the Royal Canadian Mint, the official national term of the coin is the 10 cent coin, but in practice the term dime is universal, likely due to its close physical resemblance to the U.S. dime. | | | In Canada a dime is a coin worth ten cents. | | | The word 'dime' comes from the French word 'dime', which was the name for the religious tax imposed by Catholic Church. |

| | 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. |
