From time to time I sell some coins on Ebay make sure to follow me @apuking on Ebay.
That link also includes round coins with square holes (e.g. Chinese cash)...
In any case the list above seems to be missing a few; just from the top of my head:
Straits Settlements 1/2 cent 1932
Straits Settlements 1 cent 1919-26
Malaya 1/2 cent 1940
Malaya 1 cent 1939-45

I checked the pages for the square coins that I have and discovered the following shape descriptions for a square coin.
quadrangular
quadrangular (4-sided)
quadrangular (4-sided, rotated on edge)
quadrangular (4-sided, rounded)
rounded quadrangonal (4-sided)
square with rounded corners
square with rounded edges
square (irregular)
square/quadrangular (4-sided with rounded edges, rotated on edge)
square/quadrangular (4-sided) with rounded corners
square/quadrangular (4-sided) with cut corners
I would bet this same thing occurs with other shapes. Maybe the technical data section on the coin sheet should have a finite selection of shapes in a drop down list.

For the German & Austrian States stuff, you have to look for "klippe" .
I have 2 from Salzburg, a 1/4 and a 1/9 Taler, as often, mounted as jewels with a ring:

Our famous Dutch square 5 ct 1913-1940, KM 153 also seems to be missing in this link, or did I overlook it?
Quote: "COINMAN1"You have forgotten to add the following coin into the list.
Colombia 2,000 Pesos. 1975 KM#262. 300 years of Medellin
Mintage, 4,000
Should also add the Jersey £1. KM#51

Of course, and not to forget the square 5 cent Curaçao equivalent, as well as the wartime issue!
