Would this be a nightmare for current Canadian vending machines, parking meters and anywhere else that takes coin payments?

Yeah... there's no way anything like that would make it to production for circulation, at least in the near future. But..... nobody said anything against it as NCLT  |

I like the nick-name the Foonie  Better protect the design maybe the US may like to get hold of that shape. |

To fit in a slot machine, the sides would have to be curved, just like the British 50 pence coin.
The radius of the curvature would have be about the apex point on the opposite corner.
This approach to flan design is only valid for coins that have an odd number of sides.

I remember that "pillowed" shape from my days in rotational puzzling...

I notice a leaf falling from the tree. I do NOT notice however, the word 'BLORK!'* uttered by either by the tree, or the leaf. * BLORK - Parker & Hart, (BC cartoon, circa 1990) |

It'd be cool to see some Pentagon dollars.
I would've called it a Finnie, not a Foonie.

Sorry, but the only "foonie" I like, is the one that the RCM proposed, which was a golden ring around a silver center (it could also be nicknamed a "five golden rings" because it would have a golden ring, and would be worth $5, and why not put a little Christmas into the "jingle jangle of a coin. (-;) Opposite of the toonie which is a silver ring around a golden center. Edited by Fox

This is something that I have been wondering for years:
Is there a certain software for coin designing?

I've heard the next level of security feature on coins may be bi-metal & tri-metal coins with odd shaped centres. So a five sided core with a round ring would be appropriate!
