<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 288332, member: 39&quot;]Don&#039;t really know either how many countries in the world use which orientation. What I do remember is that, when the first euro coins were issued, the &quot;medal&quot; alignment used for these coins was new for some member states, like France. But all pieces are now aligned that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similarly, Switzerland used to have silver circulation coins with &quot;coin&quot; alignment. Well, those denominations (0.50, 1, 2, 5 fr) now all are in CuNi but also have &quot;medal&quot; alignment. There are a few other cases where a country went from &quot;coin&quot; (or a mix) to &quot;medal&quot; - I am ready to admit that this may be a somewhat eurocentric view. But, and that was my main point, I don&#039;t know of any that in the past used &quot;medal&quot; and now use &quot;coin&quot; orientation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
