Various countries have coins with holes through them. It may seem mundane to the residents living there, but to those of us with solid coins those look pretty interesting. I've also seen some multi-sided coins rather than the typical round ones.
The Canadian dollar coin, the Loonie, comes to mind as a multi-sided example. I can't remember which countries have holes in their coins.
Edited to correct typos.
I've always loved our toonie as well, the two different metals just looks so great. The black ones for remembrance of QEII are especially nice.
I personally have always loved our money in general, a lot of it stands out quite a bit. I do find it quite funny though that even with such unique physical money, we are one of the most cashless countries in the world.
I'm definitely not a fan of her majesty, but that black toonie is sharp.
So many sides some of them almost feel round.
Denmark has coins with holes in the center, but it's not all of them.
Β₯50 and Β₯5 coins have holes in the centre of them.
This bird needs more recognition, it's in every remote isolated location at dusk, even alien planets.
i always thought so too! Dont know if im remembeting right, but as a kid I visited the phillipines and bored waiting for my parents this security guard sshowed us a ccoin with a hole in it. He put the middle of a candy wrapper through it and tied it so it looked like a shuttlecock and the coin weighed it down. And we used it to play hackeysack.
always loved coins with holes in them since then.

I enjoyed Algeria, Ethiopia and Egypt
OMG Aruban coins come in square?!
that link is so much fun!
edit: there are a couple different square coins. I want to have one for myself now. :)
Oh, nice, thank you!
The Ningi is a galactic unit of currency, valued at one eighth of a Triganic Pu. A Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side. Galactibanks refuse to deal in Ningis, declaring them "fiddling small change."

Not really what OP is looking for, but this came to my mind immediately.
Not sure what counts as 'regular' circulation. But there's a Canadian 'toonie' in circulation that has a glow in the dark Aurora on it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2017/06/27/canada-released-glow-in-the-dark-coin-150-year-anniversary.html
Nobody gonna mention the pennies in Belize? That's the only coin I can think of with wavy edges and it's so fun
I love the look of pesos. They look like Canadian coins but with more badass.
