Let me be the first, Cool. I would never have used Buqsha for the B. I might have used Bolivares or Balboa or Baht or even Baisa, but never Buqshas. As for the U, hmmmmm might be a bit of a cheat, in Spanish I think it is Pesos Uruguayano, not the other way around. However, in my rather extensive foreign collection which is all put into a spreadsheet so I can sort by type of currency, I just checked and I have NOTHING starting with a U. Is there something else out there?!?!

Thanks Jbuck, I tried to get a good mix without too many obvious ones where I had a choice. Plus tried to get a mix of countries from around the world and a mix of metals from aluminium to gold. They are all 20th century and beyond since that is mainly what I collect. Technically, in English and certainly in my edition of Krause it is officially called a Uruguayan Peso in it's current reformation since 1993. If I had another U I would have used it though. It's a slight stretch!  As for another U, certainly not since 1900. |

For the "U" the only coin I know of is from French West Africa and it's actually token coinage. They made a Unit, 5 Units, & 10 Units in 1883 (KM# Tn6, Tn7, & Tn8).
