[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 26112569, member: 4373"]Fantastic writing dafydd! I'll see if I can find the book down under. Gun money coinage is very interesting. I collect them as some were used as overstrike. Here are a couple of gun metal coins that are overstruck. Irish 1690 crown overstruck over half crown coin [img]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1021989.jpg[/img] Russia 1793 MM 2 kopek over Sadagura 1773 2 para-3dengi [img]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/988922.jpg[/img] With regards to potential plastic coinage - I think the only one that I can think of that Transnistria. Supposedly issued plastic coins in 2014. Whether they are still in circulation or not, I am not sure. That said, in down under, polymer banknotes have been circulating for nearly three decades. Going much further back, Keeling Cocos Island (now a territory of Australia) issued tokens in ivorine (!)
