Title: ok coins in circulation
Post by: ausjack on December 29, 2012, 06:33:48 AM
So what coins do you think are cool, I don't mind these and wonder if we'd ever get anything like it in our "made for circulation coins" http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1996-Sierra-Leone-10-leones-animal-fish-coin-/110730810478?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item19c812146e

This is really hard for me as I have so many fav's :scratch_one-s_head:

I love all 'Bird' coins. Don't know that I'd call them cool though, they're just my favs.  :winkextra:  :whistle2:

I'm not sure if cool is the word, but my favourites are the Portugal 50 Centavos KM#577. I just love the design and have the full set from 1927 to 1964.
You might have already guessed that, by my avatar.

I also like bi-metallic coins and would like to see some of those released into our circulating coinage.

Yeah I wouldn't mind a bi-metal circulation coin for us either :good:
