This one arrived today. By far the most unusual coin in my collection. Cook Islands 5 Dollars 2018: Waldseemüller's Planisphere. 30 g .999 Ag; 200 mm X 150 mm. It's so thin that it's laminated and so large that I had to scan it. https://en.numista.com/129857  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Hondo Nice pick-up! Why would they consider this a "COIN"?

Thank you, jbuck Errers GLB and CoinForMe! Quote:
Why would they consider this a "COIN"? Well, it's a rectangular piece of metal labelled a coin that is as legal tender.   Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

very nice coin Gary Nice but unusual 'coin' Hondo Numista does not list a thickness on it.. - it must be so thin it can't be measured accurately. |

Really cool and unique acquisition there Hondo. Looks to be quite the collector's item.
