We've been very proud to be a representative of the
Perth Mint here in America. Many of the countries that comprise the region of the world known as
Oceania rely upon the fine design and minting standards of the Perth Mint for much of their commemorative and NCLT output and collectors from around the world have expressed their admiration for the mint's work by way of the great popularity of these coins. Recent news from some the island nations of the world has put them even more in the spotlight.
Kiribati, the
Solomon Islands, The
Cook Islands,
Fiji and, in the Indian Ocean, the
Maldives have all declared the the need to begin planning for Island loss. Visit our piece below for more on the coins from these potentially vanishing nations and the subsequent collection we're offering on Sealife Coins from around the world.
Keeping on theme, we also bring to you the banknotes, tokens, notgeld and emergency issuances related of nations when they were under threat of inundation by hyperinflation and extreme world events. There's nothing quite like having a few hundred million Deutsch Marks, 500 billion Dinara or 180 trillion Dollars in your pocket, though it's doubtful any of you will want these currencies in you portfolio.
Finally, we bring you several unique items that were issued or meant to be issued under the auspices of the U.N. While the world body can't always manage to help nations out of the their toughest spots it's inevitable that the world will take note, if only to declare a special year in which everyone should take note of your particular affliction. We hope you enjoy the unique numismatic selections we bring to you today.
We wish you the very best as you continue through your week and hope to have brought some small interest or curiosity your way.
