you get 73 of these Dalasi coins for 1 pound sterling in Gambia ,they look like 50 pence ,weigh the same

....

Mombasa had a 50p sized coin too .... too long back to remember exactly ... buy they worked well in the UK phone boxes too .... apparently

And a US Quarter was the same size as the bigger old 5p/shilling ..... they fitted the vending machines on the jetty in Florida ... 2 x 5p/shillings for a can of pop & you got change

I remember that very ruse from the vending machine in the lobby at a hotel in Clearwater... circa 1990
