I don't know what happened but it looks as though someone made an effort to filter out the collectible “coins” away from actual coins.
I can see the logic, perhaps moving private collector mints into exonumia (even if they do have a legal nominal value) to keep the genuine coin section cleaner for the national mints.
But looks like the “project” went unfinished so we've got a few oddities like Pitcairn where its split over two areas.
Pound denominated pieces issued by the Pitcairn Islands are not legal tender and are therefore in Exonumia. Only the pieces denominated in dollars and cents are legal tender coins of the Pitcairn Islands.
191 Posts, - well thats a lot for a so called Spammer, so my bad - but are they getting a kick back for promoting their “collectible coins” here.
Needless to say my current obsession with 1800s silver coins, means I am an unlikely purchaser of such tatt.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

Yeah about that, what happened to the Pitcairn Island coins after 2022? They seemed to all moved to exonumia. 🤔🤔🤔
Because a company called the Koin club decided to “issue” coins for the Pitcairn Islands in sterling denominations, and since the New Zealand dollar is the circulating coinage on the islands they are nothing more than fantasy coins. I was one of the lobbyists who got them moved to exonumia for that reason.
