...do other countries not have just random images on their coins because the government went "fuck it, why not"?
Niue Island has done some cool stuff
Nintendo lawyers are frothing at the mouth.
It says "TM" four times so that should be enough.
Austrailia doesn't either. This was a collectible coin. Their normal dollar coil is a few kangaroos on one side and Queen Elizebeth II (now it's King Charles) on the other.
Yeah, but all collectable coins can be used as regular coins if need be
I dunno if that's true.
It's true. There's a lot of special issues that fin their way into circulation.
In the Netherlands we have the current monarch, so it changes every 30 years or so. And sometimes we have a special occasion image, but I can't remember if we've had one of these since we got the Euro as our currency.
Here is the List when each country released special coins and here you can lookup how the coins looked per year.
Netherlands has released 9 special coins.
The Royal Dutch Mint sells commemorative Euro coins that are legal tender. Like this 750 years of Amsterdam 5 euro coin
Or this coast guard coin
Though these aren’t put into general circulation.
This I didn't know. All I knew were this one or this one (also in other denominations), which could be found in general circulation.
