Even though I've never pursued it, I always thought a neat collection would be "Coins With Coins". There is a surprising number of them when you start looking. If I had one, my collection would include U. S. coins, U. S. Mint Medals, Dark Side coins, and maybe even some Currency.
Here is one of my favorites because of the beautiful contrast between the field and Continental $ on the proof version.
Let's see how many different we can post.

Ah, but the Continental “Dollar” is not a coin!
Are you considering just coins featuring a different existing coin, or countermarked pieces where one country usurped the issue from a different country? If the latter, you open yourself up to many interesting Latin American issues from the mid/late 1800s into the early 1900s.
Note the obverse mint mark on the 1932 Quarter!
You can't see the coins, but this 19th century commemorative medal celebrates the mint's coin cabinet.
And here is the 1993 Philadelphia Mint Bicentennial medal.
A silver example of the same design was included in this set.
Educate me. Explain please.
Always wanted one of these. FR263R
Here's a little trivia---This is the first time "In God We Trust" appeared on US paper money.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Me as well. I'll bring an apple for the teacher.
Is it an “s”?

They fixed that on the silver version of the medal.
Thank you guys. How cool I always liked that coin and now a little rarity (oh I know it’s not valuable but as with many of my brass bronze etc coins they usually tell a story). 😊

That would would be fun to put together!
There is a preponderance of evidence that the piece is a souvenir medal sold in England for six pence each around or shortly after the 1783 treaty that ended the Revolutionary War and established America as an independent country. America never authorized it as a coin.
That could start a lively debate from what I've read!
Thank you Tom. You jogged my memory that I have read that before but I had forgotten.
Thank you @CaptHenway
Here’s a Papal States coin
My current "Box of 20"
Tagging on to and old post. I recently found the 1992 U.S. Mint Bicentennial medal in an antiqued finish rather than the standard lacquered bronze. These were given to mint employees according to the accompanying certificate. At the same time the mint was striking other medals in this finish including the Pearl Harbor Survivors Medal, the Persian Gulf Medal and the Colin Powell medal only in the two medal set including the Persian Gulf Medal.
