Show some coins you find funny and/or strange! I found this 1988 2 Dollar from Cook Islands in a lot yesterday. The coin is made from cupronickel, is 24 mm from top to bottom, minted from 1987 to 1994, did circulate and is, as you can see triangular. Nothing valuable, but a funny, strange and cool coin Attached Thumbnails     06-18-2009, 11:54 PM   #2 (permalink) (v) Senior Member   Join Date: Apr 2009 Posts: 205 I do have a couple of Somalia guitar coins.
