I found a coin in a roll of dimes that I haven't seen before. Its called a "50 lepta" ..the king Constantine issue. I know its not a big find. But it was interesting how I was able to use the net to identify it. The writing made me think of the words helvietia or cyrillic. I noticed on the reverse there was a coat of arms, so I google coat of arms and found out it was greek. From there is was easy. Its amazing just what a great research tool the internet is.
