Ever wondered if it's possible to have a four-sided coin that isn't square? Now you know!  Archbishopric of Salzburg, Matthaus Lang von Wellenburg, 1521 pfennig, uniface (in other words, there's nothing on the other side). And yeah, this coin's four significantly curved sides make up a shape that isn't quite square but isn't quite round either  Edited by january1may

However, notice that although most posted are not actually round, they are basically roundish. Only a few are actually not in any sence round. Roundish with bumps are still sort of round. So few are actually completely NOT round. Such as the ones from Cook Aislands. So how would those work in a gum ball machine?

I wish I had a camera that could take pictures of coins. But my most square-like coin (though actually token) is a 1970 United Kingdom mint token.
