I was quite sure it would be Italy, San Marino or Vatican. I checked Italy and San Marino but couldn’t match. maybe I’ll look at Vatican later

N#3968

Fast and correct again!

#95

One of these three, I can't see any functional difference in the design proper, just metal changes.

N#8851

N#1050

N#5382

That's correct!

Woohoo!

Going to mix it up a smeg with another banknote. Not too difficult to find, even if you've not seen the note before.

Just to confirm it is, or was, a circulation note. 🙂

Excuse the light, if it's not guessed by the morning, I'll try take a better photo under natural light. 

I don't collect banknotes and haven't seen it before, but this one was truly very easy to find

N#321579

#97

It really was!

Think Numista only has ~100 notes with the aeroplane tag. And if you knew it was a spitfire, it's literally a 1 of 1 choice! 😛

Most likely from south, southeast, or east asia

Its been 2 days now. Please give a hint as expected.

Hint #1

This coin is bimetallic

Shoul be this one. Didn't really expect Taiwan 🙂

20 New Dollars - Taiwan – Numista

Ah I forgot about Taiwan. I had checked south east and east asia a couple days ago. The coin definitely looked familiar

Exactly what I did, I thought it would be Thailand, Cambodia or something like that. I only found it after the hint.

20 New Dollars - Taiwan – Numista

Correct!

#98

Another banknote this time, but I couldn't resist using this particular detail. There's already a little hint in the picture itself.

N#205213 

#99 

ZacUK

N#205213 

 

Correct of course!

 Thanks - took me a while though. 

I thought the continuous numbers were 2002 repeated, 

but found nothing, Then changed to 2000 and still nothing. 

Then laughed as then saw it was 200 repeated. 😌 

ZacUK

#99 

 

Looks like one of those: Great Britain - ⅓ Farting

Shining similarity to the image available on the Numista seems to point at KM# 791.

N#13253

N#19480

N#13249

In the Numista database, these coins are described as coins of Malta (struck for use in Malta).

 Yes - 791 it is. 

[My coin] 

Ah gosh darn. I thought they looked very British Empire style (oak wreath) but just couldn't see it in the catalogue. 😖

#100

AleksYpt

#100

 

Most likely from canada

AleksYpt

#100

 

Hint 1: standard circulation coin 

It looks extremely familiar, but for the life of my I cannot place it. I don’t think it’s Canadian though. If it is, shame on me lo

The closest i can get is a canadian 20 cents, 25 cents, or 50 cents with either the portrait of queen victoria or king george v

AleksYpt

#100

 

Hint 2: not Canada

AleksYpt

#100

 

Well, hint no. 3: the coin was minted in a period from 1991 to 1998.

Well I’m still stumped.. I surmise it should be Northern European like a finland or other Scandinavian  and silver coloured metal like nickel Or copper-nickel. yet I could not find anything that matched. I’m just going to wait for the answer now 

N#3948

#101

Should be easy enough.

One of these three coins.

5 Pesetas - Francisco Franco - Spain – Numista

25 Pesetas - Francisco Franco - Spain – Numista

50 Pesetas - Francisco Franco - Spain – Numista

Yes. It was the 5.

Yep I recognized it instantly Too.  My pic of it from 2023 :) funny enough almost in the same place 

Portugal, 7.50 Euro de Portugal 2024

But it's not an NCLT.  🤔

But it's not an NCLT.  🤔

It is not an NCLT only according to Numista's definitions, because I suppose it was issued at face value at some point. This definition is obviously incorrect, because this coin was obviously not issued for circulation. Even more, it is not a legal tender in any other euro countries, because it is not denominated 1c-2€, and does not follow the composition and design regulations, which automatically puts it into NCLT according to ECB. The fact that it was issued for face value is completely irrelevant for a coin to be circulating or non-circulating. It is the design that matters

(Btw majority of hungarian NCLTs were also available for face value, but are still recognized as NCLT by Numista)

Try searching for streetcar in Non-circulating coins looking for one that matches the picture.  The point is, if you state it's an NCLT the assumption is that it is an NCLT in the Numista catalog.  No need for an esoteric explanation why it really is an NCLT and not a circulating coin.

Sorry, I automatically wrote it's a NCLT and didn't realized it's not marked as such in the catalogue. Have to check this beforehand next time. My aim definitely wasn't to make the search more complicated. 😊

@ZacUK Correct of course.

ZacUK

#103 

 

I have definitely seen this but I’m struggling to remember where

looks like

N#2546

#104

It think it is Romanian 1 lei

One of these:

N#2800

N#838

One of these:

 

N#2800

N#838

Correct!

#105

Hint #1

This coin is a standard circulating coin and was issued only for one year

Definitely Bhutan 25 Chhertum. Most likely non-magnetic based on how it looks.

You are correct!

#106

Definitely knew it was Spain for the 82 world cup

N#1353

Yep.

rsirian1

Yep.

I yield to someone else to post their piece and keep the game going

I guess it'd be too easy if you had your collection public, yeah? 😉

I can’t imagine this is a circulation coin!  My eyes and brain cannot compute a bimetallic like this

 N#45381

Yep, that’s the one!

#108

Definitely a circulating coin with over 200 million made.

Circulating commemorative coin from 21st century.

I was thinking Uruguay, but I woukd have to check if it matches up

rsirian1

#108

 

Definitely a circulating coin with over 200 million made.

Looks like 2006 Nebraska quarter

N#640

Exactly. Excellent! Interestingly, the 50 States Quarters Program releases in 2006 consisted of 3 out of the 5 with somewhat similar suns.

all “N” states..🤔

#109

Not 100% as zoom isn't great but N#1989

Or possibly the later Latin text version: N#4812

Photo looked a little worn so guessed the older variant.

A Collector

Not 100% as zoom isn't great but N#1989

Correct! That was fast ))

Well, I recognised the acorns so just flicked through the catalogue until I saw that one. Funnily enough, I own that coin but didn't have a clue. 🙄

As is typical for me, I'll play with a banknote conforming to the usual circulating “rule”. Could be standard, could be commemorative.

N#214063

#111 A little worn but should be distinct enough to find.

Perhaps N#5271

Yep, a little easier than I thought.

Ha, I know that feeling all too well. 🤣

I went “Emu” - no. “Ostrich?” - no. Uuuh, other birds… cassowary? And there it was. 😁

Going to try and pick something maybe a little harder. Or at least, less predictable than my core UK & UK-ish stuff. Breaking out the “foreign” collection.

#112

P.s. I just found out there's a couple of varieties of this note. I'll accept any of them since I don't believe it's possible to tell them apart based on this zoom. 🙂

And just for those playing along, here's the full reverse of the Scottish note I posted as #110.

Showing the evolution of telecommunications on the left was my zoomed area. 🙂

Okay, no-one's gotten it yet after about 24hrs.

Here's a couple of hints.

Still #112, but larger area shown

Denomination: 1,000

Continent: Europe

Should narrow the search down somewhat. 🙂 I'll be back tomorrow with more hints if they're needed.

N#223800

#113

Correct of course.

Ha, finally one I just actually know! (Or I think I do) 😲

I'll leave it a day or so in case anyone else wants to have a crack at it. 🙂

rsirian1

#113

Yep recognise this one instantly too

rsirian1

#113

Look like Fiji 10 Cents, although the particular type/year is hard to tell (KM #30, 52, 120, or even 333)

Yes. Actually the coin I used was KM 52a

N#3048

#114
