Off the top of my head the ones I like most are from Mexico, Japan, the UK, Russia, and some of the Euro coins. Is there a source where I could just browse the various coins in regular circulation in the world? I started searching on Google, but I got a bunch of results for weird novelty coins from Somalia.
Various countries have coins with holes through them. It may seem mundane to the residents living there, but to those of us with solid coins those look pretty interesting. I’ve also seen some multi-sided coins rather than the typical round ones.
I like the Danish øre.

The Canadian dollar coin, the Loonie, comes to mind as a multi-sided example. I can’t remember which countries have holes in their coins.
Edited to correct typos.
I’ve always loved our toonie as well, the two different metals just looks so great. The black ones for remembrance of QEII are especially nice.
I personally have always loved our money in general, a lot of it stands out quite a bit. I do find it quite funny though that even with such unique physical money, we are one of the most cashless countries in the world.
I’m definitely not a fan of her majesty, but that black toonie is sharp.
So many sides some of them almost feel round.
Denmark has coins with holes in the center, but it’s not all of them.
¥50 and ¥5 coins have holes in the centre of them.
This bird needs more recognition, it’s in every remote isolated location at dusk, even alien planets.
i always thought so too! Dont know if im remembeting right, but as a kid I visited the phillipines and bored waiting for my parents this security guard sshowed us a ccoin with a hole in it. He put the middle of a candy wrapper through it and tied it so it looked like a shuttlecock and the coin weighed it down. And we used it to play hackeysack.
always loved coins with holes in them since then.
