Due to my cosmopolitan tastes in world coins I just had to have this one. Besides, the price was right.

 

The surface is compromised, but I'm sure that's due to the less-that-auspicious environment this coin was subject to. Maybe one day I'll try to clean, um, "conserve" it. For now, that damage actually looks quite stable.

 

Well, there you go. I don't even think they bothered enough to tally-up the mintage on these, is that correct? Again, not the best example, and I'm not really into these; I just love collecting world coins.

many people feel Hawiiaan are American, made in USA and all

But Hawaii was an independent country at the time the coins were made and the coins were struck under contract one country to another.

Right. I have coins minted in SF and Denver for Australia, but they're still foreign coins.

Right, but Australian coins are not in the Redbook.

That's because the US hasn't made Australia a state... yet.
