This is the last one jbuck, I still think the first NHL coin series that the Royal Canadian Mint released, back in 2007, was the nicest..

I am surprised that there are not more NHL themed collections amongst Canadians. It is probably the cheapest thematic set to collect, since most coins were struck in nickel.

 Venezuela, 1 bolivar fuerte, 2007 It looks like a Euro but it's a bolivar. I like this one because of the guy on the back: this specific depiction of Simon Bolivar was first used in 1873! So the design of this coin is older than that of any circulating U.S. coin. |

 Central African States, 100 francs, 2006 The Euro is not unique - certain countries in Africa have been in a currency union since the 1960s. In fact, they're so tightly united that it's really difficult to find coins made specifically for any one of those countries; the vast majority of coins used in those countries are issued for the entire currency area. This is one of my favourite bimetallics. Even after independence, France never lost the contract to make coins for its colonies. The cornucopia tells us that this coin was minted in Paris. |

Something a little different... a Canadian 2006 1-cent die set up stirke, non-magnetic. Something to remember, these coins were copper-plated, you could not physically alter this coin post-mint, to make it look like this!!
