aardspeed Pillar of the Community 921 Posts	Posted 07/22/2015 07:39 am I remember seeing another link about odd shaped coins, but this one takes the cake: Isn't this the oddest shaped coin you have ever seen? "The most oddly shaped coin has to be the .999 fine silver 2002 $10 issue from the Republic of Nauru, an island republic located in the western Pacific Ocean. The Proof coin celebrates the introduction of the euro with a coin shaped in the outline of the nations that comprise the European Economic Union" http://www.fleur-de-coin.com/articl...nusual-coins ...or this bill: http://www.darkroastedblend.com/201...urrency.html "On the 150th anniversary of the first apparition witnessed by St. Bernadette at Lourdes in southern France, the Republic of Palau issued a commemorative coin. It has a pipette containing authentic Lourdes water, very handy if you're not able to make the pilgrimage yourself" (also check out that link above...some really nice,odd currency) Edited by aardspeed 07/22/2015 07:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 07/22/2015 6:59 pm Alas, like the odd-shaped Somalian "coins" depicted in the other thread linked to by jbuck, this Nauru map-coin is not officially legal tender. If I were Finnish, I'd be unimpressed with this "coin". They tried so hard to include Greece, by slapping on the non-euro-using countries of Albania and former Yugoslavia, but they didn't go to the same efforts to include Finland. 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 Report this Post to the Staff
