pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 04/14/2009 9:39 pm For the variety and quality of their coins, you can't beat Poland, even if they continue to be a bit conservative in design (not necessarily a bad thing, after seeing a couple of coins posted here, lol). Their portraits are just excellent every time out. Report this Post to the Staff

The Zimbabwe set, too, was good, but they haven't been struck since the 1990's due to the hyperinflation there. For overall consistent quality of coins, both NCLT and circulating, I'd have to vote for two underdogs: Singapore and Israel. They may not be vary radical or innovative, but then such things rarely appeal to me. They're also "real", in the sense that both countries have their own mints, which primarily make coins just for local use, and their commemoratives normally have genuine local significance. Isle of Man and Tuvalu might make nice coins, but they're really just flags of convenience for the private minting corporations (in this case, Pobjoy and Perth respectively); you wouldn't be able to buy those coins easily if you actually visited those countries. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

State Quarters were cool but I really wish they would make a new standard quarter. also the Jefferson nickels but once again I think they are becoming overkill. still nice looking coins. Of course I only say this because I am not too familiar with international coins haha Report this Post to the Staff

PMallette Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 04/24/2009 5:29 pm I voted for Canada. Capable of the best, and of the not so great, too. Belarus also has some very impressive designs. And I'm becoming more and more a fan of Polish commemorative coins. Report this Post to the Staff
