<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 214439, member: 39&quot;]That does at least work the other way round: If a recognized country (e.g. a member of the UN or, like Taiwan and the Vatican, of one of its sub-organizations) recognizes the country in question, I would not call it an unrecognized country. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Now if some coin-issuing entity is not recognized by other countries, it gets more difficult.</p><p><br /></p><p>Transnistria for example is not diplomatically recognized by any other country. But the Transnistrian rubles look like coins and notes, and AFAIK actually circulate there. Andorra on the other hand is internationally recognized but its coins are issued for collectors only; they are not used in the country.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tough if not impossible to draw a strict line here. I use this rule of thumb: If a &quot;coin&quot; is issued by a &quot;country&quot; that (a) is not recognized by others <i>and</i> (b) primarily or solely uses anyother country&#039;s cash as means of payment, then that &quot;coin&quot; is not a coin ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
