Today start the last few days of the month and there are only few denominations starting with U,V,W,X,Y or Z.

Since there is only one definite denomination (I know and have) starting with 'U', I'll give someone else the chance to post one of those.
Here a coin which can 'cheat' it's way into this topic:

"Unit" (c.AD300) Mitra Kings of Kosala

'Unit' is the term used to describe coins when the original denomination term is unknown, often qualified as Silver Unit, Half Unit or similar.

Okay, since no-one posted one yet and the day is slowly drawing to an end, here my proper 'U' coin:

'V'-day is a little easier than 'U', but since there are not many denominations for 'V' either I restrict myself to one from the neighbourhood:

Was really hoping to see some other 'V' denominations, eg a Vietnamese Van. But let's go on to 'W':

Nice ones, now for a difficult day:

50 Xu 1963 Vietnam

Unfortunately this is the only non-gold denomination I know which starts with an 'X'.

Anyone has one of those gold coins?

Now for the second last day of the month and the 'Y' denominations - some more than for the previous days.

Welcome back, hope you had a good holiday.
Since there was no interest in latest idea for an alphabetic series, I'll leave it up to you to start something new.
And good you posted a Yuan, was hoping someone would so I didn't scan one.

Here my other selection for 'Y':

Another 100 Yen coin from Japan, similar to the Olympic 1000 Yen coin only not as interesting.

Thanks everyone who has contributed
