Not so long ago Swazi coins were virtually identical to pound coins. There used to be a steady stream of tourists who made a monthly trip to Swazi, exchanged every peney they had, and came home with coins that the London underground change machines would kindly launder in exchange for two fifty pence pieces.

I've had the odd Swazi coin turn up in my change in high street stores.

Excelent for putting in parking meters.
