Default Found my first foreign coin today!

I went back to the school I searched last week and finished up the play area..found 6 dimes (oldest of which was 1966, just missed silver by 2 years..I will get it) 2 nickles, 8 pennies, another Chuck E cheese token, and a 1992 2 FRANC SWISS coin. I thought it was a half dollar. Lying just under the mulch. Made my day. I have the pics below. I just hope they come out for you all.
