Did I just find treasure? - General

So at work the other day i was snooping around the basement and found this coin, [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/457783_3848462406461_740299625_o.jpg[/img] Looks middle eastern to me but i asked a arab at a gas station and he said he didn't recognize it, anyone on here know? Other side [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/472392_3860569709136_1125212074_33587568_525578199_o.jpg[/img]

Looks like a vanity coin to me

Whats a vanity coin?

Looks like United Arab Emirates if I had to take a stab at it. I've got a couple like it [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59389727/IMAG0439.jpg[/t]

Maybe some kinda Setu or Ghandi coin? EDIT: Yeah, it's most deferentially a United Arab Emirates.

I can't find much info on it other than this: [url]http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Saudi_Arabia_AH1374_1/4_riyal[/url] They sell from $15 (smaller one), $20 (middle sized one) and $30 for the larger one, check which one you have by looking at their size on the first link I posted.

looks pretty cool try not to lose it

Surprised no one posted a Pawn Stars meme in here yet.

It's obviously an old Chuck-E Cheese token.

[QUOTE=tesher07;36104809]Surprised no one posted a Pawn Stars meme in here yet.[/QUOTE] Surprised you think memes are accepted here even though you've got almost 1000 posts.

It might be treasure. Send it to me I'll verify.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;36104756]lmao you didn't really do this did you[/QUOTE] I did lol he actually was interested in it himself most arabs are pretty cool people

In fact the guy he talked to could very well have not been born in the Middle East.
