SOMALIA SPORTS CAR SHAPED COINS

[ToughGong]

Wtf is Somalia a name of a company

These 2010 multi-colored coins from Somalia are shaped like famous sports cars. The coins build on Somalia's other popular series of odd shaped coins: guitar coins, motorcycle coins, and wild animal coins. The six coin set includes a green 1965 Ford Mustang, red Ferrari, yellow Porsche, blue and orange Lamborghini, gray Aston-Martin DB-5, as used in the James Bond films, and a black Corvette. The obverse includes the Somali arms, date and denomination. The coins are approximately 45mm (1.75 inches) long.. Perhaps they were issued because are so many of these fast sports cars have recently been purchased by the Somali pirates. More likely however someone figured it they could sell them to collectors. I expect the series to be popular with both automobile enthusiasts, sports car fanatics and coin collectors throughout the world.

Does that mean it is fake, a failed state can be exploited by any nutter?

This is a BEAUTIFUL 2004 Somali Republic's Dollar Commemorative Coin which was issued to mark the 50th Anniversary of Rock n Roll music.
