Start of My Bi-Metallics Collection

True, but it could still be called a trimetallic piece (and is by many), as you have three distinct "metal areas". Does anybody about a coin consisting of three different alloys? I mean, not a gimmick for collectors but an actually circulating piece ...

LOL I do know of some collecters items that are tri but have not heard of a circulating one

 

I thought I'd take a look at what I have!

Argentina 1 Peso, 1994
Canada $2, 2001 (also some in mint sets and other sets, but not in my album)
Mexico 1 Peso, 2001
Mexico 10 Peso, 1999
France 1 Euro, 2001
Spain 1 Euro, 2001

I would definitely like to get some more. :goof:

 

They are rather moreish LOL

 

Nices ones. There were some different 20 Francs "tri-metallic" coins :




Maybe you can find Monaco 20 francs, 1992.

And, of course, many other medals (not circulation), from some UK collonies, for example.

But I don't know any other of that kind.

 

Couple there that I need to get at some stage LOL Thanks for sharing them with us :hail:
