Fudge

In some stories by Judy Blume there is a boy named Peter and his annoying brother Fudge. They live with their parents, a dog named Turtle, and a bird named Uncle Feather, who repeats every single word Fudge says. Leave all the comments you like. On February 26, 2006, mother gave birth to Fudge's sister. They named her Tamara Roxanne, but everyone calls her Tootsie. The books are good.

Bilbo

The star of The Hobbit, Bilbo is a hobbit who is invaded by some dwarfs in search of treasure. Dori, Nori, Ori, Balin, Dwalin, Fili, Kili, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin are their names. They can get in easily because Gandalf the wizard left a trail of popcorn leading to the door. The treasure was guarded by a dragon named Smog.

Uncirculated: No trace of wear.
Extra Fine: A near perfect coin, like most coins encountered in circulation.
Very Fine: A lightly worn coin, like those dark-coloured pennies.
Fine: A moderately worn coin.
Very Good: A considerably worn coin.
Good: Not so good for collectors!

Grading coins

MS-68: Near-perfect.
MS-67: Like MS-68, but may be discoloured.
MS-66: Somewhere between MS-67 and 65.
MS-65: Copper coins must have luster. Hardly any blemishes.
MS-64: Copper might be toned. Light blemishes.
MS-60: No traces of wear. Light marks or blemishes. Nearly full lustre.
AU-50: Small traces of wear.
EF-40: Light, even wear.
VF-30: Light to moderate wear.
VF-20: Moderate wear.
F-12: Moderate to considerable wear.
VG-8: Considerable wear.

Coins of today

Canada now has seven coins, not including collectibles.
The penny is made of copper-plated steel.
The nickel is made of nickel-plated steel.
The dime is made of nickel-plated steel.
The quarter is made of nickel-plated steel.
The 50¢ piece is made of nickel-plated steel.
The loonie is made of nickel and bronze.
The twoonie is made of aluminum and bronze. During the 1994-95 period, several metals were considered, and the final decision was made on February 16, 1996.

Coins of Fiji

All of these coins are current. They are all the same size as the corresponding Australian coin. There are 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50-dollar bills. There are plans to drop the 2-cent coin and add a $100 bill in 2006 or 2007

Euro coins

www.earlystart.co.uk/euro-playmoney.htm
In 1999, the Euro (divided into 100 Euro-cent) was introduced to replace the currencies of many countries in Europe, including Belgium, Finland, and Italy. The coins come in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 euro-cent coins, and 1 and 2-euro coins. All the coins are either different sizes or have different edges so the blind can identify them. The 1 and 5 euro-cent coins have smooth edges. The 2-euro-cent coin is smooth except for a single groove. The 10 and 50 euro-cent coins have scalloped edges. The 20 euro-cent coin has seven indentations in its edge. The euro coin and 2-euro coin have six sections, three smooth and three scalloped.

Finland does not use 1 and 2 euro-cent coins but still makes them, so they are highly collectable. Other collectible coins include gold and silver coins. They are legal tender but only in the country that made them. For instance, the 2002 silver 10-euro coin of Finland cannot be used in the Netherlands. Most coins, however, can circulate in any country that uses the Euro. Since 2004, many countries made commemorative 2-euro coins. Suomi_10euro.jpg

Provincial coins

Coins were made for several provinces before they became part of Canada. First, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia made large pennies in 1861 and stopped in 1864. New Brunswick also made silver coins, and Nova Scotia made 1/2-cent coins. Next, B.C. made $10 and $20 gold coins in 1862, and finally, Newfoundland made lots of coins in 1865. Since Newfoundland stayed separate from Canada until 1949, it had many more coins. The five images below show five of Newfoundland's coins. Large pennies were made also. The coins were all worth their weight in silver except the gold $2 coin.

Many designs were used, and Newfoundland had the most coins. The coins of B.C. were made from local gold at a small mint that was set up. That mint closed later in 1862. There was also provincial paper money. Newfoundland printed a $5 bill in 1920. The coins pictured below look like a totem pole, don't they? If you think they do, leave at least one comment

Bill replacement

A bill can stop being legal tender. For example, Australia introduced a dollar coin in 1984 to replace a bill. Canada has gone the same way, having replaced its $1 and $2 bills with coins in 1987 and 1996. The old bills can be redeemed for current money. Coins can stop being legal tender too. For example, the United States discontinued its gold coins in 1933.

Believe it or not, there are no plans for a five-dollar coin to replace the bill. Two collectible $5 coins were made in 2005, one for Alberta and one for Saskatchewan, but that's about all, not counting silver 'Maple Leaf' $5 coins. They have long been made, and each one weighs one ounce. There are also gold 1 ounce $50, ½ ounce $20, ¼ ounce $10, 1/10 ounce $5, 1/15 ounce $2, and 1/20 ounce $1 Maple Leaf coins.
