While doing some research on U.S. Trade dollar, I discovered other nations also minted them specifically for trade. Was wondering if I missed any not listed.

1780? Still minted today.
Also, Italy produced a tallero for Eritrea in 1918 which probably falls into this category as well.
Greenland "dollar" - one of the most interesting of this type of coin. Here's a link from Heritage: linky

Note that this rarity scale is about 60 years old at this point but is for the most part pretty accurate even today.
