I checked the values a week ago so they're probably slightly off.

5 Manx pounds = $6,81
5 Gibraltarian pounds = $6,81
5 Swiss francs = $5,42
500 Japanese yens = $4,35
5 Cook Islands dollars = $3,32
10 Israeli shekels = $3,14
20 Danish crowns = $3,03
5 convertible Bosnian marks = $2,89
500 Djiboutian francs = $2,81
5 Aruban florins = $2,79
5 Netherlands Antillean guilders = $2,79
2 pounds sterling = $2,72
250 Cape Verdean escudos = $2,56
50 Czech crowns = $2,34
20 Norwegian crowns = $2,27
2 euros = $2,26
Is that so????

Do those £5 coins circulate, I am sure they may be legal tender, but don't circulate.

Thought it was always this


These are earlier silver ones, but the design and size of the modern coins are the same.

And then followed by the 500 Yen of Japan
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

According to the Numista catalogue they are Standard circulation coins. I've linked the most recent versions, but there are many versions minted in previous years, and still valid.

Ok, I got the wrong link, let me edit it. It's this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces28085.html
Coins from the British Territories actually circulate?!?
What about the high value circulating EURO coins that only circulate in the issuing country.
Portugal has a few , €10.00 & a lot of other different values.

​In all my travels to Europe I've never seen any of these coins in circulation... I'm guessing they're akin to $2 bills, half dollars, and even dollar coins in the US. You can use all these but it's rare... But I'll wait to hear from European members...

​Here in Lithuania all those nonstandard coins circulate only in theory. So far as I know, no one uses them as money. I've read stories about someone actively trying to spend a Lithuanian 1½ euro coin at a grocer’s. The cashier wasn't even aware that such "coins" exist, and of course they didn't accept them. The sole purpose of minting €1½, €5, €10, €20, €50 etc. coins is to make some profit for the National Bank, and also for some people who are active in the aftermarket.
I guess the same is true for all those fancy Portuguese 10 euro coins.
ūūūūū
Some years ago I got a german €10 coin as change in supermarket.

OK, the person before trued to pay with it and I confirmed it as legal tender. So the person at PoS used his chance to get away of it very fast.
