Finally, a world coin day!  I have no idea what any of the survival rates of my coins are, but my lowest mintage bronze coin is a Jordanian 1 fils piece from 1960. It has a mintage of 150,000:  By my count, I have seven coins with a lower mintage. Five of those are silver while two are not, but none are of an odd denomination, so I guess that means none will make an appearance in this thread. |

I don't have any "odd denomination" world coins. My next world coin will come with the large dollar sized coins. I like that Jamaica penny SsuperDdave! |

Is today supposed to be for the "one cent" coin equivalents, or just any world coin in bronze? I thought the "odd denominations" would be nickel, aluminum, steel etc, which are more often than not denominations of 5 units or more?

I'm not sure what counts as "odd" I'm gonna think like a mathematician and post a coin with a denomination that is not evenly divisible by 2.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Oh I wouldn't get too worried about posting a wrong thing in this thread. The coin police will not interfere.
The day for an odd denomination is on the 5th of Sept anyway.
Today it's just " Sept 1 - World Coin Day 1 Copper/Bronze "
Being the first day of world coins being posted, other than US and not necessarily a 1 cent equivalent.
Simply a copper or bronze world coin will do. The more unusual and hard to find, low mintage, variety, error, key or semi key date.
Don't worry, whatever you have is fine, it's all good.

As far as modern, this is the lowest mintage/nicest world bronze I found: 1951 Pakistan 1 pie Total mintage: 2,950,000**I believe it's a proof and I can't find a number for that but, I assume it's a significantly lower mintage.    In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
