Someone suggested this thread not too long ago. If you've got any please post them. Bonus thumbs up emojis for coins that can't even get the name of the country correct. Today I found this: 2008 Chile 50 pesos (Chile spelled "CHIIE")   |

Thanks for starting this MMM. I suggested to Hondo to do this, but he didn't think there would be many coins. I was actually going to start it myself. Here's 2 that I know I have. I was still looking for more. Philippines 1983 10 sentimo. Incorrect spelling of PYGMAEA  Philippines 1983 50 sentimo Incorrect spelling of PITHECOPHAGA  Now I have to go check my Chile coins.  |

Discussed this briefly on another thread. I'm not sure if MEZO for "half" was a misspelling or just a local variation in spelling given the existence of local dialects. Coins struck under the next ruler consistently use MEZZO.   |

Nice examples so far. Errers and Varietys.

Jordan 1 Fil 1949. It should be "Fils". It's KM#1 - a shame that there's a misspelling on your country's first coin! In fairness, it was minted by Royal Mint (Tower Hill).  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

John Wilkinson was a famous 18th-century British iron baron, and issued tokens bearing his name during the Georgian copper coin shortage. Some of these have his name mis-spelled, and these are generally believed to be contemporary forgeries:  1791 halfpenny token with 'Wilkenson' instead of 'Wilkinson'. |

Found another example. This coin contains a mistake in the legend with "Belgish" instead of "Belgisch".  |

Both of those spellings are incorrect. IMHO |
