Got this in the coin return slot in a CoinStar-like machine. It's the same size as a dime, but magnetic and bearing a big 25 on the reverse. Well, whoever spent it for 10 cents got a fair deal seeing as this coin is worth $0.10. I still wonder how it got all the way up here from there. Maybe a tourist or maybe it just worked its way up being spent as different denominations from different countries until it finally ended up here. Now I kind of wish there was a Where's George for coins.
