dave647 New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 11:55 am welcome to the forum. I have a book titled kings,rulers and statesmen that was printed in 1967. it lists rulers and has photos of the coins they are on. if you can,t find one , you are more than welcome to have this copy. I have no use for it and need the room. I was wondering when someone would build a set around that subject. 446 pages. Report this Post to the Staff

However, I am not sure if they had widespread circulation (I know a few did). Report this Post to the Staff
apeka Valued Member Turkey 123 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 04:26 am Almost all countries have their founders and presidents on their coins. Looks like you have a long way to go! USA- Roosevelt, Kennedy, Eisenhower surprisingly not in your list. And you may add 1 silver TL has Ismet Inonu on it to your list. It's a rare piece. He is the second president and the co-founder of Turkiye Cumhuriyeti. Edited by apeka 02/28/2012 04:38 am Report this Post to the Staff

monarch Valued Member Croatia (Locally: Hrvatska) 92 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 06:02 am Thanks apeka, I put the president Mustafa Ä°smet Ä°nÃ¶nÃ¼ on my list. About other presidents you mentioded, on my list is only the presidents who have circulated coins when they are in presidency. No coins with dead presidents and presidents who were not in power at the time of minting coins. Report this Post to the Staff

MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 06:12 am Oh, you will have a lot then ! Are you looking at circulating commemorative issues as well ? Or coins with the current president / dictator when it was made ? Report this Post to the Staff
MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 06:12 am Oops, you answered that one already ;) Report this Post to the Staff
monarch Valued Member Croatia (Locally: Hrvatska) 92 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 06:18 am yes MathieuMa, circulating commemorative issues as well Report this Post to the Staff
MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 06:30 am You mentioned "No coins with dead presidents and presidents who were not in power at the time of minting coins." - which for France for example excludes the commemorative 1 franc with "De Gaulles" on it - done 30 years after he stopped being president (but not the war-era aluminium one with Petain on it) Edited by MathieuMa 02/28/2012 06:36 am Report this Post to the Staff
monarch Valued Member Croatia (Locally: Hrvatska) 92 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 07:07 am This 5 francs 1941 is great coin, very expensive. But that coin never realased into circulation. I found this story about that coin:It is known that more than 13 million pieces were struck, but they were never released as the Germans forbid it: they needed the nickel for their war industry. At the end of the war, in 1944, the German troups moved the whole mintage to Berlin to be remelted. he transport was done by river boat. The boat was hit by a allied bombardment while being on Belgian waters. It sunk and before the coins could be salvaged from the wreck by the German authorities, 2 sacks containing about 50,000 coins were taken out of the river by local inhabitants. As all the other coins have been remelted, these were the only surviving coins of this type. I do not know whether to put or not the coin on the list, because that coin never realased into circulation. Like the Mozambique coins set from 1975 which all remain in East Germany and never reached Mozambique. Samora MoisÃ©s Machel (September 29, 1933 -- October 19, 1986) was a Mozambican military commander, revolutionary socialist leader and eventual President of Mozambique. Machel led the country from independence in 1975 until his death in 1986, when his presidential aircraft crashed in mountainous terrain where the borders of Mozambique, Swaziland and South Africa converge.

apeka Valued Member Turkey 123 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 07:18 am Hmm so you should better edit your topic as presidents/dictators minted coins with their own portraits on it. Then you can add only this two coins for Mustafa Kemal Ataturk to your collection. http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11008.html http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces20845.html At his era, Turkey was using 3 kind of currency at the same time. 1st. Ottoman coins and banknotes. 2nd. Coins minted before 1928 letters revolution. 3rd. Coins minted with latin alphabets. And btw the second presidents name is Ismet Inonu. Not Mustafa. :D Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 07:22 am Another option would be JÃ³zef PiÅ‚sudski who died in 1935. He was depicted on a few Polish (commemorative and circulation) coins in 1934. Christian Edited by chrisild 02/28/2012 07:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
