Coins That Are Square
While we are all very inclusive and diverse (hello, body positivity!), we have seldom come across a square coin. Coins have come to be associated with a wonderful round, gleaming form—until we came across this Surinamese coin. Before you chastise us, let’s do it ourselves and promise never to evaluate a coin by its shape again.
The square coin is unlike any other currency we’ve ever seen. It appears exotic, the pinnacle of a foreign coin. The square shape appears to be inconvenient since it doesn’t roll, and finding a vending machine or coin sorter that can take square coins would be difficult (although we are not sure if countries with square coins have these problems all figured out).
