KM #1 Lot x2 UNC 1994 Uzbekistan Tiyin "World’s LEAST Valuable Coin" RARE Tiyin

Description: My last ones! When these are gone, there will be no more. KM#1 World’s LEAST Valuable (in Spending Power) Coin Worth 1/1,000th of one USA Cent, UNC 1994 Uzbekistan 1 Tiyin, Lot x2Buyer will receive TWO uncirculated one tiyin coins, one to keep and one to give as a most unusual gift!Makes a great gift because this coin is special for FOUR reasons. 1) You may not be able to afford the 18.9 million dollar 1933 gold Double Eagle, the world’s most valuable coin, or the runner up $10,000,000 1794 USA Flowing Hair Silver Dollar, but you can own an uncirculated example of the world’s LEAST valuable coin, with a spending power of about one one-thousandth (1/1000) of one USA cent. This 1 tiyin (also spelled tyin) coin has not been minted in Uzbekistan since 1994 and rarely circulates but it is still legal tender there. (The title of world’s least valuable legal tender coin once belonged to the Jamaican ackee fruit aluminum cent but that coin was demonetized in 2018.)2) Coins can have value three ways: spending power, value of the metal, and collectible value. This coin’s value is in its unique multi-level collectability. In addition to the world’s lowest spending power, the brass-plated steel Uzbeki tiyin was minted for only one year (and the mintage total is a mystery so no one knows how long there will be a supply). Coins like this are called “one-year types.”3) This coin is special for a third reason, it is a “Number One.” Number Ones are avidly collected by world coin collectors because they are the very first coins minted by a new nation. You can tell that this was Uzbekistan’s first coin because it carries the Krause-Mishler designation of KM#1 in the coin collecting bible called, “The Standard Catalog of World Coins.” (Uzbekistan became a Republic in 1990-1991 after breaking away from the USSR. The first Uzbeki coins are dated 1994.)4) Lastly, coin variety collectors like this coin, too. There are two different varieties of this coin, KM#1.1, the thin straight-top “1” (the large numeral 1 on the reverse) and KM#1.2, the thick curved-top “1.” When first made, the one tiyin was valued at one one-hundredth (1/100) of an Uzbeki Som, that nation’s one-cent equivalent. If you collect “Pennies of the World”, or just like unusual coins that have a unique claim to fame, this one’s for you.Coin(s) pictured is (are) representative but yours will be in uncirculated condition. Please note: an eBay member wrote to tel me that high inflation has driven this coin out of circulation. The smallest denomination circulating is 50 sums, which is worth about 1/2 USA cent. it is not known if the coin has been officially demonetized. Do you like to collect numismatic legal tender "firsts"? See my eBay store or auction list for world coin firsts, such as the world's first titanium coin, world's first mint-colored coin, world's first mint-colored SILVER coin, world's first 5 ounce silver coin, world's first modern ringed bimetallic coin, world's first modern ringed TRImetallic coin, and world's first legal tender wooden coin....and of course, the world's funniest coin, the Belgian waffle, and the world's least valuable (spending power) coin.

IMPORTANT ADDRESS INFORMATION: TO MAINTAIN EBAY SELLER PROTECTIONS, I AM REQUIRED TO SHIP TO THE OFFICIAL EBAY ADDRESS THAT COMES UP WHEN I GET READY TO SEND AN INVOICE OR PRINT A SHIPPING LABEL. SINCE I DO NOT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY (OUTSIDE THE USA), IF YOUR OFFICIAL ADDRESS IS NOT WITHIN THE USA, I WILL Have to CANCEL YOUR BID OR YOUR ORDER. Discounted shipping for multiple purchases: If you want discounted shipping, BEFORE paying for your multiple banknote purchases, please look in your eBay “cart.” There is a link there to request a discounted shipping invoice (or you can send me a note through the eBay messaging system). Please pay after receiving your invoice. You can wait three days to pay before the automatic non-paying bidder process kicks in. IF YOU WANT MORE TIME TO BID ON MORE ITEMS, YOU MUST MESSAGE ME before you bid. My Seller FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions): Reading this now will save both of us time later because sellers are allowed some customization within their seller policies. Allergy Note: All lots come from a smoke free and cat free home but pre-owned items may have originated in different conditions. Cancellations: Anyone canceling more than one bid or requesting the cancellation of more than one purchase within a six-month period will be put on the blocked bidder list permanently out of fairness to all. Discounted Shipping: USA shipping only. I am happy to discount shipping on multiple purchases of similar weight if you message me to request a discounted invoice after your last auction concludes but before payment is sent. Please make this request through your “cart” or the eBay messaging system within 72 hours of the first win. Multiple large fragile items are not usually subject to this option because they often have to ship in separate boxes. Shipping and Return Policy: I can only ship to your official eBay address within the USA (the address that shows up when a seller looks at your eBay ID or tries to send you an invoice), no exceptions. I ship twice a week, usually on Monday and Thursday so shipping can take up to four days from the time of payment. Please bear this in mind, as well as the post office transit time estimates, when looking at arrival dates. You will always receive a tracking number from the eBay shipping system. Oklahoma residents and the residents of most other states are always subject to sales tax. In more than 20 years, my return policy has not changed. All sales are final - no returns or refunds unless there is a serious question of authenticity or a gross error in the description. Refunds are not available for differences regarding banknote, coin and medal grading opinions. Payment Reminder: eBay automatically cancels a transaction when payment fails to arrive within the required period. ABOUT FEEDBACK: My top priorities are answering email, writing accurate descriptions and the fastest possible shipping for my schedule. Feedback is important but not my priority. I leave feedback only once or twice a month in large groups to save time.
