3D3DCoin from Viinamarisaar.
I'm pretty sure that Viinamarisaar is not a real country. It's described as a small island in the Baltic sea, but in fact it's a figment of the imagination, based loosely on the real Baltic sea island Ruhnu. Being a figment of someone's imagination has never stopped a country from having its own currency, in this case a quite attractive line of anodized niobium and titanium coins, plus assorted other coins and notes. Think of it as a fantasy baseball league for frustrated coinage designers.
