Ok, it was hard to decide because of all nice commemorative coins but I really just need the sort of coins people use to pay with today.
I let the 2 Zloty coin be in the list because DagonX and DL20K thinks you could find it in circulation sometimes, even if its an commemorative coin.
I didn't take the 25 Piastres because I think they don't use any coins in Egypt even if they exist. I hope I am right in that one.

Really? Where did you find that out? Maybe Egcollector could answer that one.
Amr, are you there?

Now I am not sure any more. I searched in Wikipedia for Egyptian pound. In the English version it says:
Coins, even for the smallest amounts, are encountered much less frequently than notes but coins down to 5 qirsh remain legal currency.
but in the German version it says:
Da in Ägypten Geld entweder als einfach zusammengefaltetes Bündel, ggf. mit Geldklammer, oder in Portemonnaies ohne Münzfach transportiert wird, spielen I'm alltäglichen Zahlungsverkehr Münzen keine Rolle, es kursieren praktisch nur Banknoten.
which shortly means that there is practically only paper money circulating

Do the Greece 5, 10 & 20 Leptas from the 1960's (and 1912) still circulate? They have holes..

We have circulating coins, in fact the government has a plan of minting new denominations such as the 5 pounds coin which wasnt used in circulation.
As you see from the list below Egypt has a variety of different coin denominations and dates that are still in circulation. It's hard to pick the older one's in a good condition from circulation but it is easy to find Unc ones at a coin dealer.
EGYPTIAN COINS CURRENTLY IN CIRCULATION;
5 Piastres (1967)
5 Piastres (1972)
5 Piastres (1984) small denomination
5 Piastres (1984) large denomination
5 Piastres (1992) decorated vase (21mm)
5 Piastres (2004) decorated vase (18mm)
10 Piastres (1967)
10 Piastres (1972)
10 Piastres (1984)
10 Piastres (1992)
10 Piastres (2008)

Try This link; http://coins.about.com/od/worldcoin...ey-Coins.htmQuote: The Circulating Coin business delivered its second year of increased profitability and 14% growth in turnover to £85 million (2006-07: £74. 4 million), which contributed significantly to The Royal Mint's strong financial performance during the year. Of particular note was its growth in the overseas market, which was evidenced by the award of a major contract with the Egypt Mint Authority for coins and blanks, as well as significant orders from Trinidad & Tobago, Macau, Rwanda and Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB). These are just some examples of the 52 overseas customers that chose The Royal Mint as preferred supplier for circulating coins and ready-for-striking blanks.

I can't believe that no one has pointed out that ALL Asian cash coins had holes of some sort. So right there you have a ton of types and varieties.

Tanks to EgCollector for all the information and the links! Its just another example for how much you can trust Wikipedia. I thought it sounded odd, but it clearly said so in the German version. The 25 Piastres are on the list now.
