Minted by the U.S.? I guess similar to the Iceland Leif Ericson? Please, why do they do this sort of thing? Can these other countries not mint coins?

That Netherlands East Indies coin was minted during WWII. I'm guessing that the Netherlands had more pressing issues at that time than striking coins for use in Southeast Asia, but I could be wrong...

Interesting! Thanks! I guess if either of my grandfathers were still here they'd have me clued into this kinda stuff. In 2000 the U.S. minted a commemorative for Iceland. How come?

The Germans were occupying the Netherlands and the Japanese had invaded the Dutch East Indies.
