Chocolate coins

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

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.
