Not many countries can boast of a ratio of 200 between highest and lowest denomination coins ( European Union being an aberration).
Never thought of that, actually, considered it pretty normal, even now when I think of other countries. Croatia got 2500 ratio! Although, these Al coins are not really used, never were much. Russia, since recently, also 2500. I think ratio up to 500-1000 is pretty common, most of the other European countries have it, too.
