Anyone knows where's this coin from? I found it in a dressing room while I was trying some clothes. My first guess was Serbia, but I'm not sure, never saw a serbian coin. Anyone here that knows? It's a nice little coin, I already added it to my collection

As @hereandthere has discovered, it is Bulgarian and worth virtually nothing. There are 100 stotinki to a Lev and the lev is worth € 0.51 and $0.57, so it's worth approximately one European cent or a little less than one US cent! Never mind, It's a good example to have in a collection.

Hehe, it doesn't matter, I have coins with even smaller values

. I just like to collect them, it's always fun and also a little addictive. I want to get 1.000 coins from all over the world, that would be nice

@lyndakerby probably it is, from what I saw, the coin was printed in 2000.

I have never seen this currency before, but doing some research it appears it MIGHT be a Bulgarian Lev.

@Kasjnak How far is Bulgaria from Serbia that someone may have had it to drop in that dressing room, I wonder?

@porwest not that far, but Serbia is not involved here

. The coin was found in Romania and we are neighbours with Bulgaria

I did, thank you

. It's a small coin from Bulgaria and has a very small value. But it doesn't matter, it's a nice addition to my collection.

@Kasjnak Ys, sometimes the value doesn't matter that much.

Yes, it was quite easy, but I guess I was a little bit lazy. Maybe a little more

2000 probably. I left it at home, but from the picture it appears to be from that year.
