kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 07/01/2020 11:34 am I don't remember those coins but that's because I was in Antarctica before they were issued And anyway I wasn't in the Australian part.

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 02/25/2021 1:23 pm Wow, neat coins! I have a few coins from British Antarctic Territory, and vaguely heard of a French Antarctic Territory issue. I didn't know that any other Antarctic areas issued coins, though in retrospect it makes sense. I wonder if anyone has a complete list... Report this Post to the Staff
