bd251, how many "sides" does this coin have? Scalloped / 16. Note: not an entry - seeking clarification of rules. Rwanda 2 Francs 1970  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I would tend to say 32 sides. If each concave curve is a "side" then so each convex curve would be a "side"......

Good entries so far, although a flying kangaroo might be pushing it a bit... Quote:

Yemen 1993 1 rial. 21 sided apparently.   1 flying thing 2x If the distance to mint is less than 10,000 km (6, 210 mi) Paris, France to Sian, Yemen...5335km "Adjustment" factor Number of edges divided by diameter (in centimeters). 21 / 1.995 = 10.526 1 x 2 x 10.526 = 21.052 |

So what makes it 21 sided, trig?  The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.
