The minting of the first coins of the Republic of Ukraine was entrusted to the machine-building plant of the city of Lugansk. It was 1992. A new business always has any incidents. The plant, along with coins of the standard type, issued non-standard products in the form of rejected, trial and experimental coins. For experimental coins it was characteristic that, unlike the standard sample, they had a different metal, weight, size and year of production. Trial coins have their own history. They were issued according to the projects, but were not further approved for circulation. Non-standard coins have a very small amount, which is of great value for coin collectors. For example, in Ukraine in 1996 a defective silver coin with a face value of 50 kopecks was issued. Her obverse was turned at an angle of 135 degrees.
The Republic of Moldova issued a 10-ban coin.
An Italian bronze coin framed with a steel ring was minted in connection with the anniversary date concerning the National Institute of Statistics of Italy.

In Italy in 1996, the country's Customs Academy celebrated its centenary. In connection with this, an anniversary coin of 200 liras was chased.
Famous Italian artist Laura Cretara successfully and fruitfully worked over the 100-liter copper-nickel alloy coin. As a result, 210 million copies of coins were issued.
