Special Souvenirs From Fiji!

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

Have just learned that the Fijian 10 cent piece is quite similar to the Canadian and US 25 cent piece, works like a charm in any vending machine, parking meter and could almost certainly pass in a handful of change to a business you loathe.

Pretty funny!
I think the same thing applied many years ago to a NZ coin being about the same size and shape as a US dime. It was a NZ 5c or something worth a bit less than US 10c!!

I can see the Cardamon Fiji "Souvenir" website blooming!

Where did my post go? I didn't think I was promoting crime and I had my zipper up.

All that I know is Canadian quarters will NOT work in US vending machines, and often, American quarters will jam up Canadian vending machines but you got the Fiji coins to work? Interesting.

Things that make one go "Hmmm..."
