Do you have any funny or strange coins?

It looks even better in hand of course. Not funny looking, just nice.
Unusual woody of sorts to add to my modest collection. :thumb:

You want funny? You asked for it...




This is a So-Called Dollar from the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. It's an HK-464 from the A&P Carnival certified by NGC as MS-62. There is another version with a laughing cow that is almost as funny.

And here it is...

 

HiHo...lol That's got to be the best so far...it even has your name on it.

I have several peices from the 1893 fair but none from that one....that's great!! lol

 

I saw in the Krause catalog that Nigeria has a coin with three monkeys playing musical instruments. I would love to get my hands on that one, as I find it to be pretty cool.

I think the closest I could come here is that I have a Lincoln cent with some discoloration, and it looks like Abe is barfing. LOL No picture, though.

 

Malaysia

Maybe is only me, but Malaysia coins have rare objects on the reverse...

 

I have 2 of these triangle coins. hold on to them they are going up in value $20-30 USD

 

Very funny crocodile with a human hand on a coin from Kazakhstan. He says us: "Hallo!"

I have one like this in photo.

10 cents of Shilling - Tanzania
Year: 1984

I think it is a beatiful and different coin.

 

OK... so the kids are feeding off a doggie.

 

The croc ate everything but that one hand. It had dirt under the fingernails.
