Please note that you shouldn't post your entry list here in this thread. Instead, send it to me by e-mail or private message. Why, you may ask. The reason is that if everyone's entries were posted, there would always be a possibility of you inadvertently seeing someone else's answer which in turn, could influence yours. To eliminate such "foreign" influence, please send your entries to me directly. You may make a post here stating that you sent me a message. I will acknowledge receiving your entries.

Below is a country list, a template which you should send me*.
Add your answer at the end of each line.
Example: if you think about the US and the first coin that comes to mind is the 1974 aluminum cent, you should write "US - aluminum cent".
Please don't use catalog numbers in your answers, instead write a common name of the coin, or a description (with dates if necessary).
* as you have surely noticed, the list is not a complete catalog of all countries in the world. You can add others if you know the coinage they produced but it's not a must. And conversely, if you don't really know anything about coins of Iceland (which is on the list) without checking the Internet or consulting Krause, just put a dash or write "none" in that line. However, don't do so too often, I'd like to have at least half of the lines in my list filled.
