wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Jersey: copper 1/13 shilling, 1841("One-thirteenth of a shilling" has to be one of the more bizarre denominations out there.  Can't believe it took the Brits until <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_Day" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_Day" rel="nofollow">1971</a> to implement a decimal currency.)<img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Holey%20Coins-%20World/HCV-Jersey-ThirteenthShilling-1841.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt=""

Portugal: silver 200 reis, 1748(A fairly basic design, but handsome coins, in my opinion.)<img

silver 20 centavos, 1895-PG-V(All Puerto Rican coins are relatively scarce.  Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they finally got around to listing these in the "Red Book" of United States coins now, since Puerto Rico is a US Territory?  Hawaiian and Philippine coins have been listed for some time.)<img

1842-CлБ<img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Holey%20Coins-%20World/HCV-Russia-1rouble-1842.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> (Here I lament the loss of the picture of my holey 1791 Sierra Leone dollar, if not the coin itself.  As I recall, it was maybe a G-VG-details piece- holed, of course.  But <a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/sierra-leone-dollar-km-7-1791-cuid-1092901-duid-1535563" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/sierra-leone-dollar-km-7-1791-cuid-1092901-duid-1535563" rel="nofollow">quite a rare coin</a>!) Switzerland: copper-nickel 5 rappen, 1894-BThis was the very first "holey" coin I added to the Holey Coin Vest collection.<img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Holey%20Coins-%20World/HCV-Switzerland-5rappen-1894B.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Well, that about wraps up all of the (still-existent) photos of the World coins on the front of the Holey Coin Vest.  That's just one side of the front of the vest!  The other half of the front side was US coins, which I'll post later... Edit: nope, sorry, looks like I never got around to doing that, and all those pics were forever lost when stinkin’ Photobucket struck an iceberg and sank.  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
