 Bahrain, 500 fils, 2000 Out of all of the fantastically rich Gulf states, the little island of Bahrain is the least dependent on oil. Bahrain also has a very strong currency - one Bahraini dinar is equal to $2.65 USD!! So even though this coin is worth only half a dinar, it is still more valuable than a U.S. dollar. Later Bahraini coins would read "KINGDOM OF BAHRAIN" instead of "STATE OF BAHRAIN".

 Uruguay, 10 pesos, 2000 This is a bit of a literary coin - it has a quote and a signature on it. Also, it's got Jose Artigas on it, one of a very long line of Latin American rebels.

All right guys, get ready for this, I'm about to post a proof Walking Liberty.  France, 1 franc, 1999 This is a special proof coin - it was made with a plain edge instead of a reeded edge. But what makes it really special is that I found it in a bucket of 20-cent world coins. It's not PF-70 anymore, but I've always loved this design of French Liberty.

We seem to be having a theme of beautiful women on coins, so here's the late Princess Diana on a cupro-nickel five-pound coin issued by The Royal Mint for the UK in 1999:  Born on July 1, 1961, Lady Diana Spencer married Prince Charles on July 29, 1981. The couple had two children, Princes William and Harry, but divorced in 1986 and she died in Paris after a car crash on August 31, 1997.

I admit that I really like some of the Britannia's and that they change up the designs.

Oh, really?
Ever since imgur was banned for some reason, I've been using postimage.org. I can see the pictures, but it looks like it's not a very good host.
