The first pyramid coin is now legal tender on the Isle of Man. Worth 25p, it has been introduced to commemorate the the Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibition at the O2 arena [formerly the Millennium Dome].

I think it's quite cool. Why and how did the round coin become the standard - and only - coin shape? At the very least this three-sided coin is something different!

So how long till we get the first square or rectangular coin?
