Australia and New Zealand are famous for coins like "Motorcycles of the 1930's" and other "commemoratives" that commemorate misc. things with zero historical or cultural significance to anyone, much less themselves. As for mintages as one member here has famously put out "Even a mintage of 2 is too high if only 1 person wants one." The Franklin Mint boasts low mintages on lots of its stuff but see what that ever means for their values. Canada has produced many beuatiful coins in its history but it's modern stuff is like 98% junk as far as I'm concerned.
