In 1990 Poland started production on a new series of coins.
The coins were not introduced however until 1995. At the time
of the introduction the Zloty was revalued, so it took 10,000 of the
old Zlotych to equal one new Zloty. This nine coin set includes the new
1 Groszy through the 5 Zlote. The 2 and 5 Zlotych are
bimetallic coins. The coins feature the Polish Eagle on one
side and the denomination on the other. When Poland switches
to the Euro, these coins will be removed from circulation.

COMMEMORATIVE SETS
Each year Poland produces a number of attractive
commemorative 2
Zlote
coins covering a wide variety of topics, including endangered wildlife,
historic cities, famous Poles, sporting events, etc. The
coins
are struck in an aluminum-bronze alloy called Nordic Gold.
The

consists of
19 issues. The 2006 and 2007 sets each contain 23

1992 COINS OF THE
FEDERATED REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA

This 1992 coin set were the
first coins introduced after the collapse of communism in 1991.
The coins have the denomination on one side and the
arms of the Federated Republic of Yugoslavia on the other. The
country was federated in name only, as it soon underwent a complete
economic and political collapse.
Slovenia,
Croatia,
Macedonia and
Bosnia-Herzegovina soon declared
themselves to be independent from Yugoslavia. Inflation
soared, with prices sometimes doubling within a day. The new coins
scarcely circulated as their buying power was quickly reduced to
virtually nothing. The set includes the 1, 2, 5, 10 and 50 Dinara in Uncirculated condition.

FROM
YUGOSLAVIA'S HYPER-INFLATION
In the 1990's Yugoslavia
underwent a
complete collapse as the country broke
into five separate nations and inflation soared. Prices sometimes more
than doubled within a day! To keep up with inflation
Yugoslavia
had to keep introducing new coins and currency. In the fall
of 1993 Yugoslavia produced
what was then the highest denomination bill ever produced with the
denomination written
out, a 500 Billion Dinara note. The note pictures
Serbian
romantic writer and poet Zmaj . The back shows the National
Library. Inflation continued and the 1993 Dinara soon was
replaced.

MACEDONIA ANIMAL
COIN
SETS COMMEMORATE FAO

In 1995
Macedonia issued
two sets of coins to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the United
Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Each set
consists of three coins the 1, 2 and 5 Denari. The two sets
have
the same designs; a sheep dog on the 1 Denar, a trout on the 2 Denari,
and a lynx on the 5 Denari on the obverse and the FAO logo and
denomination on the reverse. The obverse design was based on
the
regular issue coins of Macedonia, however the legends and size of the
images are different. One of the FAO coin sets was struck in
yellow brass, as is used in the other
circulating coins of Macedonia. The other set was
struck in
a lighter-colored copper-nickel-zinc alloy. Both
sets are
Brilliant Uncirculated and are priced less than half of their current
catalog value!

animals. Animals are featured on the higher denomination
coins.

coins.

Albania released their first post-war coins in 1947. The

were struck on the blanks that had been used for Yugoslavia’s 1946
coins. The coins feature the Albanian arms on one side and the
