<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kuhli, post: 44036, member: 86&quot;]Technically, this is not true.&nbsp; Several countries do not put the national name on their coins, but rather the bank that issues the coins.&nbsp; ie.&nbsp; Russian coins carry the name &quot;Bank of Russia&quot;, as do coins from Serbia-Montenegro (National Bank of Serbia), Indonesia (Bank Indonesia), and others.&nbsp; You also have to consider the monetary unions, that are not specifically a single country, such as the West African States, which are issued and used by several independent nations.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as tradition, many Russian coins did not carry any national name, only the monogram or crest of the monarch.&nbsp; Several coins of the Netherlands issued under William of Orange carry only the crowned monogram and crowned arms to identify the nation of origin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first issues of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia) carried only the Royal Crest.&nbsp; Many Romanian coins of the 1950&#039;s only had the national seal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
