@barryg that coin is preposterously thick?! Sri Lanka 10 Rupee, Philippine 5 & 1 centavo sentimo     The Sri Lanka coin is reeded at the flat edge only.. While these are Indonesian coins with discontinuous reeding (I don't know if it is uncommon feature or not... Sorry if it is not  )    Edited by Guybrush

I love these things Japan, 100 mon "Tempo Tsuho" 1835-1870   Countermark at 9:00 and 3:00  E for more clarity: The rim countermarks on these coins were done officially, as these coins were very easy and profitable to counterfeit; 100 mon could buy about 8 pounds of rice in the mid-1800s. All genuine examples should have these punches, and should show metal distortion/distress on the rim from the strike. Edited by Finn235

My least coin-like coin: India, Gandhara C. 600-500 BC Silver "Shatamana" or double-siglos (11.5g, 38mm long)   And the Mint called the Baseball HOF coin a "breakthrough"! Edited by Finn235

Cool shaped coins. I think I need some of those especially the hexagon gold when I can afford it!

Somehow my mind just wandered towards rai stones. They're quite different, not just on the edges. Too bad I don't own one so I can't take a picture of one to post it here... Edited by UltraRant

Here's an irregular-shaped coin, perhaps the roundest they could make at the time: Paphlagonia/Sinope 1 drachm, 480BC-450BC:   |
