Collector Coins are Now Exonumia? [solved]

As I looked over someone’s swaplist, I noticed that the total coin count included one Andorran collector coin now classified as a piece of exonumia.

I wonder why collector coins such as the Andorran centimes and the pseudo-“coins” of Niue are now classified as Exonumia, and not coins?

Could you provide some links? I looked at a few items from Andorra and Niue and they were still classified as Coins › Collector coins.

The only mention of Exonumia in the Types list is paper exonumia.

The only mention of Exonumia in the Types list is paper exonumia.

Here is a screenshot from someone’s swaplist, where it shows an Andorran coin on the bottom of the list. 

Also, even when you deselect the other types (tokens, banknotes, paper exonumia), the coins show up as “Multiple types selected”.

Andorra coins were originally listed as Coins:Non-circulating coin.  They were changed to Coins:Collector coins sometime after 2022. Here's a good explanation as to why:  https://en.numista.com/forum/topic161822.html

Niue coins were also originally listed as Coins:Non-circulating coin and were also changed to Coins:Collector coins in January 2025. You can find an explanation for the change here: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic146084.html

Collector coins are under the Object type Coins. That is why they show up on swap lists when you filter on Type coins. If you don't want to see them then deselect Collector coins.

I don’t mind seeing them in the catalog; i wonder why they are now classified as exonumia, like local coins.

That is explained in the forum posts.

I guess the question I am really asking is if the move of this type of coin to exonumia was a recent change (at least in the swaplist). Because I did know about the move of the Andorran and Niuen(?) coins to Collector coins since the  update to Numista in late 2024.

They have always been under Coins (not the old Exomumia type). They just went from one type to another. As far as when, I posted that above. Maybe you never noticed because there weren't any on the swap list.

Why are you now calling them Exomunia?

OK. My apologies.   You are correct. 

That's something that needs to be cleaned up (or maybe a bug just for this coin).  Make a post on the Numista website forum to change.

I have made a request just now regarding this coin and Collector coins in general:

UPDATE: Issue has been officially resolved. 

Good job.  👍
