[Game] World Coins Time Machine… Counting Backward by Year! (Plus Prize Coin)

Thank you, @coin_nut and @Jimski. Because of you, I've learned something today that I likely never would have known. I googled 'penny black' and learned all sorts of stuff. I like it here!

With that, I shall take us to 2015 Oman with a 50-baisa, a 25-baisa, a 10-baisa and a 5-baisa.

Two Canadian coins celebrating the 100th anniversary of the "In Flanders Fields" poem:

 

2915 Puntland 25 shillings. I think this is in Somalia?

 

2015 - Canada. I think Canada puts out (or is the correct word emits?) more types annually than any other country.

 

BE2558/2015 Thailand, 10 baht business strike and 10 baht commemorative Asian Economic Community

 

Canada - 2015 25 Cents, Maple Leaf Flag (Colorized)


Cuba - 2015 1 Centavo (Convertible)

Notice that this is a different type (aluminum instead of copper-plated steel, and slightly larger) than the 2016 example I also posted. Cuba made both types for the duration of the peso convertible, with no real rhyme or reason to which was made in any given year.

Egypt - 1436 / 2015 50 Piastres, New Suez Canal


Lithuania - 2015-LMK 2 Euro, Lithuanian Language


South Africa - 2015 5 Rand, Griqua Town Coinage

I am not sure why this coin was minted in 2015. Discussions regarding the minting of these coins and their minting seems to have taken place in 1816, and they were delivered to South Africa in 1817. It seems either of these years would've made for a better commemoration. ​

 

2015 - Hungary, Papua New Guinea and Western African states

 

I don't recall seeing or posting these . . . so here goes.

2015 Uganda - 50 and 500 shillings.

 

Morocco - 5 Dirham 2015 - King Mohammed VI.

 

2015 Australia, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan

 

Aruba - 2014 1 Florin


Fiji - 2014 2 Dollars


Netherlands Antilles - 2014 1 Gulden


Philippines - 2014 5 Sentimo


South Africa - 2014 2 Rand, Union Buildings

2014 - Russian medal celebrating the admission of the Krim Republic into the Russian Federation

Belgian medal featuring its new royal couple - King Philippe and Queen Mathilde

 

A couple 2014 Suriname coins . . .

 

2014 Australia

 

2014 Zimbabwe. I think this country experienced huge inflation and printed paper notes of many billions denomination not long ago. Not sure what is the story about these "bond coins".

 

Vatican City - 50 Cents 2014 - Pope Francis

Monaco - 1 Euro 2014 - Prince Albert II.

 

These replaced the hyperinflation dollars and were pegged to (and I believe backed by) USD.

That system was replaced with a new Zimbabwe dollar within the past couple years, the notes are very high quality but the currency has already inflated to uselessness once again.

 

2014 UAE, Colombia and GB
