What’s the weirdest circulation coin you’ve ever seen?

I mean, like, just bizarre.

Some of my favourite unusual shaped coins are from Asia…

My Hexagonal Silver coin from Egypt is definitely my weirdest one 

Not sure if you meant only weird shape but if not then it's this one that I got yesterday. It's definitely bizarre.  

Try this one too…

Just got one in my change this week.

My favourite is this one …..

I recently (last month) purchased one of these, love the different shape and the way its aged in colour find it fascinating.

Jersey's 1/13, 1/26, & 1/52 of a shilling coins. They also had 1/12, 1/24, & 1/48 of a shilling coins a little later.

The latter make sense as there were 12 pence in a shilling, so they're respectively a one, half, & quarter pence.

But 1/13, 1/26 & 1/52 aren't that obvious. It's because Jersey, despite being British, was at the time using the French Livre as it's currency. When the authorities decided to switch to Pound Sterling, it wasn't just as easy as set a date. So they fixed the price of 26 livre = one pound. And these new coins were part of the process of fazing out French to replace with British over ~20 years.

There's a whole Wikipedia article on it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_livre

It's probably the egyptian 2 piasters and 10 milliems from the rule of King farouk . 

My grandpa had a bunch of those , they're equivalent to around 5-6 pounds

There are lots of countries using hexagonal or scalloped coins but in the last 200 years there's only 1 country with circulating triangular coins: Cook Islands:

I agree here, this is by far the weirdest coin in my collection too.
Btw. it is from the Cook-islands.

Thank you. I am glad I am not the only person who thinks that.
