Date Conversion

If you're like me, in the course of CRHing, you'll run across foreign coin.  Usually, they're from Western countries, so reading the date is easy.

However, you probably also run across coin from the Middle East, whose numbering system is very different from our own.

Therefore, to help decipher the dates on, at least, coins in Arabic, Persian or Indian; here is a link:

In fact, the "root" of this link (http://worldcoingallery.com) is a very good resource to identify the country and denomination of most foreign coins you may find.

Happy Hunting ..............and Happy New Year.

Thanks. I have run across a couple of those myself. A UAE coin and an Egyptian coin.
