<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 3069881, member: 25270"]When I say "fantasy coins" what I mean is there are a lot of coins that are made by private companies and I assume are not under the auspices of any government. For example, there are Galapagos Islands coins, but they are not issued by Ecuador, which owns that territory. Here are some more examples:</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/ILE-DES-PINS-NEW-CALEDONIA-50-Francs-2014-turtle-fantasy-coinage/310991546948?hash=item48688a6a44:g:q1YAAOSw8lBTpUmI" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/ILE-DES-PINS-NEW-CALEDONIA-50-Francs-2014-turtle-fantasy-coinage/310991546948?hash=item48688a6a44:g:q1YAAOSw8lBTpUmI" rel="nofollow">Ile Des Pins</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Alejandro-Selkirk-Island-500-condores-2014-UNC-Loggerhead-Turtle-Bimetal-unusual/263587656424?hash=item3d5f0c72e8:g:cMMAAOSwMstYQyAk" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Alejandro-Selkirk-Island-500-condores-2014-UNC-Loggerhead-Turtle-Bimetal-unusual/263587656424?hash=item3d5f0c72e8:g:cMMAAOSwMstYQyAk" rel="nofollow">Alejandro Selkirk Island</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Robinson-Crusoe-Island-500-condores-2014-UNC-Sea-Turtle-Bi-metallic-unusual/263587673532?hash=item3d5f0cb5bc:g:g3QAAOSwo4pYREpE" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Robinson-Crusoe-Island-500-condores-2014-UNC-Sea-Turtle-Bi-metallic-unusual/263587673532?hash=item3d5f0cb5bc:g:g3QAAOSwo4pYREpE" rel="nofollow">Robinson Crusoe Island</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-San-Andres-10-Pesos-Turtle-animal-wildlife-bi-metallic-coin/401324453887?hash=item5d70cd2fff:g:7~UAAOSw8HBZEj56" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-San-Andres-10-Pesos-Turtle-animal-wildlife-bi-metallic-coin/401324453887?hash=item5d70cd2fff:g:7~UAAOSw8HBZEj56" rel="nofollow">San Andres</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I ask is I collect coins with turtles on them and there are a lot of coins like these that are "fantasy coins" and I'm not interested in them, but I do want to collect real coins from real countries.
