Not a coin topic this but this article in todays daily mail (yes I know) is quite interesting. Some micro nations do produce coins as a novelty

The principality of Seborga is an interesting one - It has some of the trappings of a real state.

I have a 15 Centesimi from Seborga. One of the few micronation coins that I have, as this one actually circulated in the area it was minted for.

Micronations run the full spectrum of "real-ness", from de-facto independent countries (though usually rather small ones - Sealand is a good example) right down to some adult somewhere remembering their eight-year-old self declaring their bedroom an independent country. What they all hold in common is a lack of recognition from anyone who is already a member of the "real country" club.

Amongst the other things not mentioned of him in the article, Emperor George II of Atlantium is also a coin collector; the "imperial coin collection" used to be online and was an excellent database for micronation coinage types, but the old links to it are now all dead and broken.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
