Jays-Dad, I can inform you of a couple you have missed. Here is my list:
1/360, 1/96, 1/80, 1/48, 1/40, 1/32, 1/26, 1/24, 1/16, 1/15, 1/12, 1/10, 1/8, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 5/10, 2/3, 1, 2, 2½, 3, 4, 4½, 5, 6, 7½, 8, 10, 12, 12½, 15, 16, 20, 24, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 100, 175, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 20000, 50000, 100000, 200000, 250000, 750000. That is 58 in all.
I also know of 32, which is quite easy to find from Denmark (though I haven't got it myself yet) and 18. These are near the top of my wishing-list, together with 1½, 7 and 9.

Yes, I am a little surprised myself that there should be no higher than 750000, but I suppose hyperinflationary countries tend to use bills. I have a 500 000 000 000 dinar note from Jugoslavia....
Turkey has several "million-something" coins though, so there should be possibilities there, although all of these are commemorative. I have always preferred coins meant for circulation.

I agree that this list should come from circulating coins, I admit my 7 1/2 is a cheat, its 7 1/2 Dollars from Cook Islands, definitely a cheater.

Litotes, I'd love to know where some of those denominations are from. Can you tell me how you completed the 1/360, 1/32, 1/15, 7 1/2, 24, and 175? I'll put them on my wish list.

Sure, I'll share what info I have :-)
The 1/360 is not difficult, 1 pfennig from Prussia doubles as 1/360 Thaler. Since 360 appears on the coin I included it. 1821-1873.
1/32 is from Ethiopia. 1/32 Birr. Mine is from 1897 (EE1889) and I believe that was the only year of production. Still, it is not very uncommon and didn't cost much.
1/15 is a little difficult. Is is a Norwegian 1/15 speciedaler. You will be lucky to get one of these below $100. Produced 1796-1817.
7½ is Russian, 7½ Roubles in gold. Even more expensive than the last. Lucky for me I bought it a while ago. I couldn't resist 7½. Produced only in 1897.
24 is another Norwegian speciality, 24 skilling. I have 24 skilling from Denmark as well. These are silver coins from the 17th and 18th century and not very cheap. $100 and upwards for the Norwegians, Danish ones slightly cheaper.
175 is my cheat. A Norwegian commemorative. Produced in 1989 to celebrate 175 years since independence from Denmark.
All estimates of value is for Fine quality. I try to avoid Very Good whenever possible.

Hmmm....if 1/360 is 1 pfennig from Prussia, then I've not only got 1/360, but also 1/180 and 1/120 (2 and 3 pfennig)!! I'm not sure though...feels a little like cheating to me since I catalog them as 1, 2, and 3 pfennig.

Of course the 7 1/2 is the polu(semi)imperial?
I'm surprised they only produced this in one year (the original of course, not the 10 Rouble version) ?!

1/360 cheating? Possibly. You know, I have 2, 3 and 4 pfennig from Prussia myself and I never included 1/180, 1/120 og 1/90 even though all of these are specified on the coin. Never thought of it. I think I'll just cross out the 1/360.
Polu(semi)imperial? NumisMatty, you probably know more of these than I do. All I know is that the 5 and 10 roubles were produces many years but the 7½ and 15 only in 1897.

Litotes - I only know them because there was a great list of denominations on CoinPeople someone had posted (a Ukrainian, I think...)
So, how about some Russian denominations..
1/4 = Polushka
1/2 = denga or Polkopeyki
1 = Kopek
2 = Grosh or Dvushka
3 = Altyn
5 = Pyatak
10 = Grivennik
15 = Pyati-Altynnik
20 = Dvugrivennik
25 = Polupoltinnik
50 = Poltinnik (a.k.a. poltina)
1.00 = Tselkoviy (Ruble)
3.00 = Treshka (refers mainly to banknotes I think)
5.00 = Sinitsa ('blue one' - banknotes)
5.00 = Poluimperial
7.50 = Poluimperial (due to change of weight for this name in 1897)
10.00 = Chervonets or Imperial
15.00 = Imperial (due to change of weight for this name in 1897)
100 = Sotnya or Stolnik or Sotenniy
1000 = Kosar or Shtuka (last one is very modern I guess)
1 000 000 = Limon (also the modern one)
** I have cut and pasted many of them from the original post...
There may also be a few more..

Thanks for the Russian denominations. Interesting list.
As for the Vogons, I am not surprised their denominations would sound like bad poetry.....;-)
