Off the top of my head the ones I like most are from Mexico, Japan, the UK, Russia, and some of the Euro coins. Is there a source where I could just browse the various coins in regular circulation in the world? I started searching on Google, but I got a bunch of results for weird novelty coins from Somalia.

i always thought so too! Dont know if im remembeting right, but as a kid I visited the phillipines and bored waiting for my parents this security guard sshowed us a ccoin with a hole in it. He put the middle of a candy wrapper through it and tied it so it looked like a shuttlecock and the coin weighed it down. And we used it to play hackeysack.

always loved coins with holes in them since then.
