Comments on Major New Circulation Sets of the 21st Century

A boring design, maybe, but not a boring coin. How many countries have a triangular national symbol on their coins? How many mention the sub-continent on their coins? How many proclaim "in god we trust" from their coins?

How many proclaim "in god we trust" from their coins?

Peter

There's at least one other I can think of.   

[Figleaf]

I can think of a third one, but it is just quoting the one you have in mind.

As controversial innovation, it's on the edge of the coin.

The Dutch version is usually "God zij met ons" (God be with us), which is different, though along similar lines. But I can't find a picture of this edge.

[Figleaf]

Neither could I, so in KM we trust and it says the edge inscription is: "IN GOD WE TRUST ST. EUSTATIUS
SALUTES FIRST AMERICAN FLAG"

December is coming and soon the year will be drawing to a close.  Have I missed anything? See:

New major sets of 2014.

And also see my:

Terms of reference.

Yes.
Zimbabwe set, coins for fractions of US Dollar, minted in China, coming in first week of December.

I am assuming that you agree with me that plastic stuff of Transnistria is a set of tokens.

Didn't know that. So it'll be like Panama and Timor Leste - they'll use the US dollar but their own coins.

Whatever they are, they're not coins - and probably not even tokens.

Here is the latest on that from Zimbabwe

Yes. It will be like Panama ( or even worse since Rand is also valid currency in Zimbabwe).

So far as I know, I have included all the worthwhile sets for 2016:

Did I miss any? And which sets are eligible, so far, for 2017? I know of the Isle of Man set. Are there any others? Here is a reminder of my:

Did I miss any?

You missed Indonesia.

[<k>]

I did indeed. Probably because I was disappointed that there would be no more beautiful bird issues. 

[eurocoin]

And which sets are eligible, so far, for 2017? I know of the Isle of Man set. Are there any others?

Vatican City. You probably missed this because you were disappointed that there will no longer be a nice image of Pope Francis on the circulating coins.

[<k>]

Oh no, that corrupt fly-speck.

Stay in the neighborhood ... San Marino.
