Since we may not be able to track him down. HIGH - LOW FACE VALUE COINS IN CURRENT USEThe challenge is to show a coin that is current, that is the smallest denomination currently. But the coin has the highest face value for a low denomination coin. Rules.1. The coih must be currently in use - (Not demonitisecd) 2. From a proper country - no Molossia, Harry Potter land etc 3. Must be a photo 4. Must be the lowest value cheapest coin in sequence. 5. You must state the coins face value in US cents. I will start  New Zealand 10 cent coin - lowest face value coin in current use since 2006 - value = 6.35 US cents 4/6/20.Have fun Winner is person with the bottom coin in a country set with highest face value after mine. |

Sadly, this is still the smallest in the US.  It should be the dime if you ask me.  One US cent is worth one US cent but cost nearly Two Cents to produce. Participation points only...  |

Thanks.
Just to clarify guys and gals.
You don't have to live in the country where the coin comes from. As long as you own the coin its all good.
Bd251, have they made the 1 and 2 eurocent coins illegal or set only pieces now? I am sure at least in some of the poorer Euro countries, these coins are still used?
I can also think of several countries in Europe that have a lowest denomination coin worth much more than the NZ 10 cent oiece.

As I thought, it looks like they do still make the 1 and 2 cent for mint sets. Something I did not know is that the 1 and 2 cent are actually still legal tender in Finland, they just are not used. Everything paid in cash is rounded to the 5 cents. I've been to Finland several times and never saw a 1 or 2 cent in circulation there. It seem that this coin actually does not qualify. I'll see if I have something else. https://www.suomenpankki.fi/en/mone.../euro-coins/ |

I think that this might be my best entry. Here is a 1 Litas from Lithuania dated 2010 that I picked up in Eastern Europe a few years ago. It is one in a series of circulating commemorative 1 Litas and seems to be worth about 33¢.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Is Lithuanian Litas not demonetized? If it's not I think a 1 centas would be the smallest denomination, but I'm a little confused by the rules. Is the winner the highest numeric denomination or the highest monetary value?
