​The last year we'll be able to post this type, so why not. (1959 coins do exist, but only as essais)

​btw - what is going on in your avatar - can't quite make out the art work at 100x100...?

Cita: "sc.rednek"​Thinking about refreshing the thread again at 1950. Any rule changes you'd like to see? I was thinking about removing the 2 coin limit, haven't had more than a half dozen people posting each year so the thread shouldn't get too huge too fast.
​
​My only non-USA 1958. Do people in England get annoyed at how thick and heavy their coins are?

​Funny you should ask, no we don't, we love a bit of heavy metal in Britain.

​Is the bit about "heavy metal" a double entendre? ​
​
​Jokes aside, most modern coins in circulation on both sides of the pond seem to be of "reasonable" dimensions, compared to the tiny and huge coins issued in the past on both extreme ends of the scale.
​
​You do have to wonder if anyone ever complained about their Cartwheel tuppences or Russian 5 Kopecks being way too heavy; or for that matter, if anyone complained about some old British white pound banknotes being practically the size of placemats.

Cita: "Mr. Midnight"​That's a beauty! I am looking out for one of those.
