Chocolate coins

In our house, no Christmas stocking could possibly be complete without a bag of chocolate coins from Santa :-)

How interesting! Your chocolate coins contain facsimiles of US currency, while ours over here are (IIRC) all fake dubloons and what not.

I was going to make this same comment! The ones I picked up at the store yesterday were made to look like current British currency, though there was also the option of Japanese currency. Nary a nickel, dime, or quarter to be seen!

This year's chocolate coins are a mixture of current British sterling, US coins, old French francs (not a Euro to be seen), Japanese yen and Icelandic kronur. Last year's had South African coins as well. There seems to be no real rhyme or reason to it!

Oh, and the coins are actually made in the Netherlands. Figure that.

A couple years back, when the currency changed to Euros in much of the EU, it was difficult to find any chocolate coins that weren't Euro-shaped, here in California. Those seem to have become less common, though.
