mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1888 Posts	Posted 03/16/2017 6:21 pm Come to think of it, I do have what some might consider a 'weird' collection. At this point in time it consists of exactly three coins, one of which is a 1917 Type 1 Standing Liberty quarter. I'm not sure if it would even be permissible to post images of the other two in these forums. Can anyone guess the theme? Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5174 Posts	Posted 03/16/2017 7:21 pm Having recently acquired a pentagonal, i.e. 5-sided, coin (good luck finding one of those - Numista lists only three types of circulating pentagonal coins; one of them is the Transnistria plastic that is probably better described as a banknote or token, and I have the larger of the other two), I'm now considering a set of circulation coins with different numbers of sides. I'd probably need the famous Cook Islands $2 for this set, though (as they're the only circulating triangular types), and that might well cost me a load of money. Largest number of sides on a circulating coin is, I believe, 24, for some Brazilian issues. I don't have any of those (yet - they're not that rare). I do have 21 and 22 sided coins (Yemen and France respectively). To the best of my knowledge, there are no 23 sided coins. As far as I can tell, the only 20 sided coins are Guadeloupe... mind you, I'm probably going to end up getting one of those eventually anyway if I want to make it to 300 countries (currently 264).
