edit// And here are two of the higher value coins in this series, which have some odd shapes on them but no triangles. However, one could easily arrange these three in the rough shape of a triangle..

I was going to post a slightly earlier dated coin of New Zealand, but am opting for this 1949 50 Centimes from New Caledonia.

I suppose New Zealand is farthest, but the Cook Islands are still pretty far away (10881 mi):

@mysilveryears, I think you mean kilometers, not miles.

Very nice entries so far. I was hoping for some submissions from small islands. I will try to post a leaderboard tomorrow with distances. I realized I didn't declare an ending time, so this will go until the end of Friday (within a few hours). That's the usual three-day allowance.

Entries so far:

Palouche - 3,379 miles*
Arkie - 9,798 mi
bd251 - 11,238 mi
jbuck - 9,798 mi
keith12 - 6,559 mi
mysilveryears - 7,937 mi
mcshilling - 1,008 mi (to London; the Antarctic Territories don't seem to be recognized by anyone as an independent sovereignty of any sort and don't have a capital, as such.)
Spence - 10,096 mi (this is under French rule, but does have a capital city of its own, so there's a loophole.)
pepactonius - 10,881 mi

This is a great showing so far! bd251 leads at the moment.

*Miles chosen as the unit because I am American.

There seem to be a few fantasy coins for the Chatham Islands, but I wonder if any of these coins have ever been anywhere near the islands? I suppose the capital is the same as New Zealand's.

You are absolutely correct. I thought there was something odd with that measurement.. ..
