Two weeks ago, I noticed my mother had three large tins filled with coins from 20, 30, and even 60 years ago. Among the hundreds, and perhaps a little over a thousand coins, I found a small silver coin from 1960.
GR 1.25 LEI 835

- Numismatic value: Between USD 2.50 and USD 4.80 for coins in good condition (VG to UNC), although at auction or with certificates they can reach higher prices (up to USD 38.99 or more in exceptional cases).

Fun fact:
The last time I used a coin to pay in Venezuela was 15 years ago. Since then, I've needed a lot of bills to pay for even the smallest things.
