Not to disappoint those who like to see more Australian pocket change:  This time a Dollar with the standard reverse. Can you recognise what is shown there?

Ohhhh.... 2009 was a good year!  This one was part of a mini-stick and puck set. The coin was mounted into the puck with a magnet, which meant I had to buy several sets, before I found one that had a superior grade on the obverse (magnet side).  Be my valentine!!  A gorgeous silver coin with coloured enamel, again, not popular and very low mintage.  This one has a lenticular finish, and is an all nickel 50-cent coin, mounted in a puck. They were not popular, and has evolved into a modern day scarcity. They were minted on demand, and final mintage for this piece is 318.

Couldn't find a 2010 coin in time, but here's a nice Turkish bi-metallic. Turkey is one of those republics that puts their founding father on nearly every coin - they have gotten quite creative at depicting Kemal Ataturk from almost all angles. In the 1990s, he appeared facing head-on! However, this coin only shows him in profile.  I like the simple but ornate design on this coin - clear and decorative. Unfortunately mine is a bit worn out.

Australian pocket change continued:  Canada seems to have a lot of NCLTs celebrating sport, but in Australia sport makes in into circulation, here one that celebrates the centenary of the rugby league.

Here's a pretty coin from Kyrgyzstan, one of the more difficult countries to add to your collection. It also has the hardest-to-spell name of any country in the entire world.  Kyrgyzstan, 1 som, 2008

Don't have a coin from Kyrgyzstan yet, need to get one for my OFEC collection. Maybe the spelling is difficult but the pronunciation is easy, try the native name of Croatia.
