The most unusual and therefore especially attractive form of coins is in the form of a triangle. For many numismatists, such specimens in the collection are a source of pride.
Where and when did the coins come out triangular shape? We will not go far into history at first, but we will turn to some triangular money of foreign origin, which came out at the end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first century.
Well, of course, these are the coins of Bermuda. World famous " Bermuda Triangle"could not be beaten by the British in numismatics. From 1996 to 2008, several unusual triangular-shaped coins with slightly rounded corners and slightly convex sides and, accordingly, a ship theme were issued. It was 1 dollar, 3 dollars. $9, $30, and $60 in copper-nickel, silver, gold, and gold-plated silver. On some of them, the mysterious Bermuda "card", as they say, is played to the end: the image of a ship's distress at sea is used. On others, floating craft "feel" confident and look very attractive.
The Cook Islands also have their own triangular coins. The first is for referral. This is two dollars, issued from 1987 to 1994, with the image of a mortar and pestle. Data 2 dollars made of copper-nickel alloy. Another coin is a $5 silver coin with Swarovski crystals, issued in 2008. It's called "Christmas in Rome".
With unusual triangular money, Slovakia stepped into the 21st century. This country in 2001 issued silver 500 kroons and silver-platinum-gold 5000 kroons. Both coins were issued in honor of the Millennium.
Canada also used a triangular geometric shape on its money. These are 50 cent coins, also with slightly rounded corners and slightly convex sides. A copper-nickel fifty cent minted in 2009, following the shape of a pick, reflects the musical theme. Such a numismatic refinement is of particular interest, of course, to lovers and connoisseurs of playing the guitar.
And another one, similar in shape and the same denomination, only made of silver, is a Canadian coin dedicated to the milk delivery service. On the color reverse there is an image of a cow and a bottle of milk.
This unusual banknote came out in 2008. It is interesting, in addition to its shape and color presentation, also because it was made in memory of the tokens that circulated in the country in the middle of the twentieth century. These tokens were metal, different shapes, including triangular with rounding. Each of them gave the right to receive a quart (approximately a liter) or a pint (close to half a liter) of milk.
Well, it is worth mentioning the Australian commemorative silver, in the form of a triangle, 5 dollars, which have been issued since 2013. The first coin was dedicated to the parliament building (the building is engraved on the reverse). Others honor the centenary of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and World War I veterans.
In our country, of course, triangular coins seem very unusual. Neither in modern Russia, nothing like this was minted in the USSR. And if you only look far into history, you can find triangular money ... The Russian Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich put into circulation new denominations - the ruble and some others with it, for example, such as half and half and half. Rubles were minted from foreign silver thalers, and also made from copper (they were called efimki). And half-fifty dollars, which made up 1/4 of them, were minted on quarters of thalers. So the coins were triangular. Today it is unrealistic for a numismatist to meet them, and collectors are content with copies of ancient valuable “triangle coins”.

Money is a topic that is always interesting to talk about. Of course, it is best if there is something to talk about, but otherwise you should not lose heart.
In general, it is believed that the history of coins has about 2700 years. During this time, the shape, material and value of the coins themselves changed. Everyone famous science Numismatics attracted the attention of many. But we won't talk about it now. old coins, because this is the lot of specialists, let's talk about the unusual coins of our time that appeared in the recent past and are still in circulation.
For starters, let's do a little tutorial.
Firstly coins that are not intended directly for settlements in everyday life are divided into collectible and investment.
Collectible coins after purchase can be stored in collections (unexpectedly, right?) and, if necessary, sold either to another collector, or handed over as scrap, or accepted at the denomination indicated on them (it's a shame ...).
Investment coins have the status and technical specifications coins from precious metals, have legal circulation, which makes it possible to circulate them at prices close to the value of the precious metals they contain. Those. they have the option of buying them back by banks at the price of the precious metal.
Secondly, exist different qualities coinage. Well, we will not focus on this either. Those who are interested can find material about minting and ways to distinguish a fake on the website of the Bank of Russia.
Another one interesting feature, which is directly related to the production of commemorative coins, is the country of origin.
Everyone understands when a country that has some sort of economy issues collectible coins. But, it is very surprising when such coins, moreover, the most interesting in terms of design and technology, are issued by states that are practically not mentioned anywhere without special need ...
Let's give a couple of examples.

But it has an ambassador of Russia. Currently, the Russian Ambassador to the Commonwealth of Australia concurrently is the Ambassador to the Republic of Nauru.
Readers who love to dig between the lines, of course, immediately understood what in question. Of course, about offshore (as it is now considered correct to write) zones.
But this is all a theory, so let's move on to the most interesting, namely a review of the unusual coins of the world.

Reading time: ~ 10 minutes
Numismatics is one of the most common hobbies in modern world. This was largely due to the variety of commemorative and commemorative coins, some of which are truly unique. It is these original copies from different countries we will consider further.
So, for example, in the Republic of Palau there is a five-dollar illusion coin, which depicts a drawing by the Swiss artist Sandro del Petre called “Illusion”.
On the coin you can see Profile of the "Sorrowful Knight" Don Quixote, but if you look closely, you can also find an image of his faithful squire - Sancho Panza. It is thanks to this visual effect that the coin bears a similar name. In addition, it has a rather unusual oval shape.
If we continue talking about unusual forms, then you can not ignore the coin made in the Republic of Nauru.
The most attentive have already noted that, after all, it was created in his honor. The face value of this collector's item, made of high-grade silver, is $10.
Also distinguished African country Somalia. Despite the fact that constant conflicts, in fact, deprived her of the government, the Mint of this country produces some of the most original banknotes.
Their face value is often only one dollar, and the variety of colors and shapes is simply amazing, making these coins more like badges than banknotes. However, they usually do not get into circulation, immediately after the release, settling in private numismatic collections.
Also reminiscent of a souvenir or even rather an amulet is an interesting coin issued in island nation Palau.
It is a four-leaf clover, which is known to symbolize good luck. Indeed, to have such a copy, made of gold the highest standard, really great luck, Vedas such a coin was issued in extremely small quantities.
The most interesting series of coins
In addition to simply original ones, very beautiful coins made of various metals and covered with enamel also regularly appear. Usually such copies are decorated with images of events or things to which they are dedicated.
Series “Road Kings”, released in Tuvalu, features realistic renderings of the iconic trucks.
Series “Insects” released for the smallest numismatists. Each coin has realistic image a specific insect. Posters and stickers are included with each collector's item.
Series “Legendary motorcycles”, released again in Tuvalu, is decorated with images of the legendary motor vehicles. And there are a lot of coins of this type, because new series appear regularly, and old ones are replenished and reissued.
Interesting non-metal specimens
Besides, who said that collectible banknotes should be made exclusively of metal?
In the images you see quite original coins that were made before the Second World War in the city of Mousse Joe in Canada. Quite a few of them have been preserved, because they were released from such a short-lived material as wood. It is also known about no less original coins issued in Yuan Makchukuo in 1944-45. They were made from a material similar to cardboard, because at that time there was very little metal in occupied Manchuria.
TOP 3 most original coins in the world
On the third place- Mongolian talking coin. It depicts the American President John F. Kennedy, who, in the area of the right shoulder, you can find a small button. By pressing it, you will hear the famous words of the president: “I am proud that I am a Berliner!”.
In second place there is a silver coin with holy water, again issued in Palau. As you can see, this copy depicts the Virgin Mary, next to whom a small vial of holy water is placed in the disc.
And first place in originality is a currency called “quasi-universal intergalactic denomination”, created by scientists from the National Space Center and the University of Leicester. Naturally, this money has no face value and therefore is not used on Earth. According to the creators, they are made of heavy-duty plastic that can withstand significant loads, and will definitely come in handy for future space tourists.
Of course, these are far from all the original coins that are worthy of mention within the framework of this article. Perhaps it was worth including here and, because they also stand out from the rest. But after all, numismatics exists for this, so that everyone can independently find and collect not only expensive, but also the most unusual and beautiful banknotes.
