Are You a Metal Snob? Post your Favorite Aluminum Coin

coinnerd

I was showing off one of my favorite modern coin designs to some coin club friends. All US people, they wanted to see some nice world coins.
One comment, 'It's not a coin it's 'ALUMINUM'.'

Anyone else turn up your nose at a coin just because it's aluminum? To me a nice looking coin is still nice even if it's not gold, silver or copper.
Here is the coin, Italy 10L 1950

I know I have at least one aluminum coin, from North Vietnam. I do not know if I have an image, though. How about an aluminum medal?

Aluminum is my favorite coin metal. I even created "The Aluminum Coin Collector's Society" in 2011. I can't pick a favorite, though! These two are leading candidates.

This Spanish issue is a great design


This Chilean piece is also a favorite of mine.

When I get my Mac going again I will post some of my nicer pieces. I am on a tablet now and do not have a way to upload via my time machine.
