Umm, why the "2x2x2"? Apart from having a certain thickness like all other coins, that piece is a two-dimensional triangle, right? I mean, a round coin is not a ball just because it's round ...

Well Christian, it's a little difficult to explain so I've created a simple flow chart to try to illustrate it. Hopefully it will help.

No, seems that the bronze piece is the only version of that coin.

And Bobby, thanks a lot for that flow chart. Great one!

I can take part of the blame for the ebay guy being sold out. When I saw the Pobjoy didn't have it listed on the American side of their website, I went on ebay (thank you humpybong for the link), and there was two coins left. I bought one and paid immediately (it was very tempting to take them both, but I can share). Now I look forward to receiving it. Maybe in time for Christmas?

The flowchart is funny!

If you HAVE to have a triangular coin, but don't want to spend the money on the King Tut coin, then look into the $2 coin from the Cook Islands. That one actually circulates. (and has rounded corners, so it doesn't rip up your pockets, or worse.
