Here's one I'm pretty sure no one else has:  I just came in the mail yesterday. A 1995 Gibraltar Crown.

I am sure that there are many coins that are more Unique than these five coins. But even with a total mintage of only 2,500 each these were never popular. Perhaps it was the price tag of $500 for the set of five coins. Photo #1 is four of the five, 2005 Australian Peackeepers pure silver Proof coins with an American Dollar in the center for size comparison.  Photo #2 is the AusAID coin This is the Australian Governments humanitarian work wihich is managed by the Australian International Developement - AusAID.  Photo #3 is the Air Force coin. Interestingly the plae in the backround is a UN plane.  Photo #4 is the Police coin. Yes, these are 2oz coins .999 Silver.  Photo #5 The Australian Army which has a long history of Peacekeeping.  Photo #6 The Observe. This is a two dollar coin.  Photo #7 is the fifth coin, The Australian Navy coin.

I think the answer to the question is the owner of the 1933 gold ST Gaudens double eagle

Why be so crash  I read a lady got one million US dollars for burning her hand on a cup of coffee at Mc Donalds ( I do not know whether that is true ) I was at a Belgian Mc Donalds yesterday and they were using a brush with a spraying bottle attached Spraying water on the floor and mopping it up leaving a liquid stain Without clear warning of cleaning area danger I think if they do the same in the US and you manage to break a leg slipping on that liquid stain you should manage 5 million dollars at least judging by the burnt hand allocation

THat is true about the lady. I also heard there was a man who sued his RV company because his vehicle crashed when he put it on Cruise Control so he could go make a cup of coffee in the back!!

The one with the cruise control was told differently over here It was a prince who put his limo on cruise control and went in the back of the car with is lady friend to do some socialising

Not particularly rare, but I suspect I'm the only person here with one of these:   2005 Chinese Zheng He Commemorative, in honor of the 600th anniersary of the famous Admiral's first voyage.

My vote is for the Roosevelt dime. No seriously. Has anyone seen the Cuban Pirates of the Caribbean series with the topless Anne Bonny and Mary Read silver and gold coins from 1995? Are there other countries that have done anything like that? That is hilarious. Check ebay for pictures. I don't own any (yet!) nor will I post pictures here for fear of offending.

I take it you mean coins like this one. Sorry, Mom would yell at me if I posted some topless woman on here. However it would get a Lot more people involved with coin collecting
