[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 3158107, member: 46237"]How do you define modified? Are you looking for existing types that were struck on alternate planchets? Would you also count new emergency types that replaced (or supplemented) older coins of the same denomination? The following coins strictly fit your definition of modified: For Hungary, the 2 Fillér type was bronze up until 1940, but then was changed to wartime planchets: [LIST] [*]Hungary 2 Fillér (1940) Iron (Plain Rim) [LIST] [*]Exactly the same as the regular bronze issue but struck in iron [/LIST] [*]Hungary 2 Fillér (1940-1942) Iron (Decorative Rim) [LIST] [*]To differentiate between the bronze and iron issues, they added a decorative rim [/LIST] [*]Hungary 2 Fillér (1943-1944) Zinc [LIST] [*]The diameter was changed very slightly but the design is the same as the plain rim above, and the regular bronze issue [/LIST] [/LIST] Similarly, the 10 Fillér was nickel up until 1940, but was then changed to wartime planchets: [LIST] [*]Hungary 10 Fillér (1940-1942) Steel [LIST] [*]No changes were made to this type except the planchet. [/LIST] [/LIST] The following coins are also Hungarian wartime issues that were struck on alternate planchets, but their [I]designs were also changed[/I]: The 20 Fillér was struck in nickel until 1940. The coin was changed like the above 10 Fillér to wartime planchets, but unlike the above, the type was also completely redesigned (and a hole was added in the center, presumably to save metal). [LIST] [*]Hungary 20 Fillér (1941-1944) Steel [/LIST] The 1, 2, and 5 Pengő were silver up until 1939, but were changed to aluminum during the war. The design of all 3 coins was changed (slightly for the 1 and 5, but the 2 was completely redesigned). [LIST] [*]1 Pengő (1941-1944) Aluminum [*]2 Pengő (1941-1943) Aluminum [*]5 Pengő (1943) Aluminum [/LIST][/QUOTE]
