I am curious to find out myself !

Cool idea, I'll add my voice to those interested in seeing more as your collection grows!

Try to look for a 1943 Dutch cent. It's yellow-ish, not regular bronze colored. It's minted in the US by orders of the Dutch government in exile (not sure, I thought Philadelphia mint, but I have to look it up). They're pretty rare nowadays, as they never made it to The Netherlands during the War (where the Nazis had their own zinc coins put in circulation). They were put in use in some of the Dutch colonies, though, like nowadays Suriname.

I have considered starting one, but have been too lazy!

Why dontcha get one fired up?! I have plenty to contribute.

E: also stupendous coin! I have heard that the Mint workers for these East Indes types were attempting to recreate the coin from scratch, (they didn't get the original dies) and bungled the language! Can anyone confirm this?

Is there a list? I think it would be fun to do like DL20K's "unusual denominations" thread and have the list at the start of each page, with new acquisitions marked off.
