I guess it would fit better in this section...

I was wondering if someone knew how many countries had coins directly inspired from the dodecagonal brass British threepences ? The denomination can vary but I'm not looking for the more scalloped 12 sided coins at the moment.

So far I have listed :

Great-Britain : 1936 (trial) 1937-1946, 1948-1967
Canada 5c : 1942-1943
Fiji : 1947-1967 (lots of years missing)
Jersey : 1964, 1966
Seychelles 10c : 1953, 1965-1974,1976
Nigeria : 1959

Any other come to mind ?

Thank you !

I'm not sure whether coins from any other country were directly inspired by the GB brass three pence ('threepenny bit') but I came across this in a quick check of my "miscellaneous" box:
Scalloped edge (12) - Mauritius 10 cents 1971
If you are interested more generally in multi-sided/scalloped edged coins I also found the following:
Scalloped edge (8) - India 10 paise 1961
Multi-sided edge (8) - Chile 1 peso 2004
Multi-sided edge (13) - Czech Republic 20 korun 2002
The 20 korun coin is brass plated steel and the edge has a similar look to the three pence but I doubt there would be any design connection.

Could be any of none of these
Yeah I've done the same search... like half of those are just Australian 50 pence commemoratives and a lot of the Oceanian versions look patterned on the Australian type.

There's a lot of Latin American dodecagonals and I'm unsure if any of them are relevant. Most of them aren't brass.
