2006 Moldova 5 Bani!


The first thing I saw of this coin was the obverse. I thought "Oh, I could use another Romanian coin." I turned to the back and discovered it wasn't Romanian, but Moldovan! So that's the story of how I got this, my first (and so far only) coin from Moldova. I like the design, I just wish it were a little less worn. This is probably why the U.S. mint is so reluctant to use aluminum for the 1 cent coin. It wears and scratches so easily. Because of this, this coin is worth face value which is below 1 cent at $0.004.
