Heres a birmingham 3 penny from 1811-13. The reverse gives its fraction - 80 tokens for a pound note.  |

not sure if there is another US one apart from the Cent (type) shown by 'Arkie' Well, the Half Cents from that era say "1/200", but (IIRC) that's about it, unfortunately. |

Harrar( Ethiopia) Besa: not listed in Krause. Gill lists it incorrectly as a Token. I may have the reverse upside down  |

A couple of recent ones from Euroland: France - one-and-a-half Euros:  Spain - 12 Euros:  France tends to use unusual denominations for its NCLT coins - they have also issued 25 cent and one-and-a-quarter euro coins. The Spanish 12-euro coins (which are available at face value from banks) continue a series that started in pre-Euro days with silver 2,000-peseta coins. The denomination of 12 euros is equivalent to 1,992 pesetas, and the coins are of the same specification as the old 2,000 pesetas. |

 Soviet Union, 3 rubles, 1989 (Armenian Earthquake Relief) The Russian Empire, and its successor state the Soviet Union, both famously made weird fractional denominations like 3 and 15 kopeks. Apparently, this is because Russia was the first country to adopt a decimal system of currency, so nobody had any idea what denominations would be useful. So 3-kopek coins are not difficult to find - but 3- ruble coins are a bit less common. The unraveling Soviet state went out in a blaze of numismatic glory, issuing scores of commemorative coins between 1989 and 1991 as the ruble began to lose almost all of its value. This 3-ruble signifies the beginning of the end. |

Recently I have been delving into the field of Canadian municipal Trade dollars. The vast majority of these tokens were redeemable in a certain area for $1 during a certain span of time; but here are two with more interesting denominations.  Hinton, Alberta, 2.50 dollars, 1981 The denomination here is actually a commemorative denomination - $2.5 for 25 years.  Wainwright, Alberta, 3 dollars, 2003 |
