ALL South African coins are boring, the nature theme is really ugly and I don't even like the outdoors

pepactonius,
That Tonkin coin is lovely - it's the first I've ever seen.

I often think I've seen all the circulating 20th century coins ever issued and occasionally I see something that I've never seen before.

If you're going to talk about ulgy U.S. nickels, you need to include this. Personally, I like the newer one a lot better.

I'll get us back on track here ...
Nothing more boring than a boat rudder.
Italian featherweight coin.
On the other side is a 5 with maybe a beluga whale or
porpoise of some kind which is a bit more exciting.

MikeF, that might be boring but I believe it is a great 1721-H French Colonies Copper Sou of 9 Deniers La Rochelle Mint. I get excited over early Canadian circulating copper. Not sure but I think this also circulated down Louisiana way.

That rudder takes the cake

A couple more I find really boring.

Italy, 10 lire. The reverse is ok, but that plow is just ... meh.

Slovnia, 100 tolar. They could really do better for this cc.

Ok, this was issued just after the war, so different rules apply ... But still. The beginning of a very boring Yugoslavian coin designs.

I must stress that boringness is a matter of opinion. I know people who like Yugoslavian coin and I respect that. But for me they just don't do a single thing

I believe they did circulate in LA. After I purchased my 1767 French colonies coin, the next week this one came up for auction. I couldn't resist. It's boring as heck but I love the history behind the coin. This one is graded vf-25 by PCGS and is crazy expensive.

The commemorative circulation coin commemorating 200 years since the loss of Finland from Sweden. So much potential and it's litterally just horizontal lines with an inscription. Who thought this was so great it should represent this event?

Where can you find the other 19 designs that they were choosing from? (For the reverse of the now shield cent)
