Throughout the world, countries take pride by showing their flags on coins. Sometimes, a flag takes up most of the room on a coin's face, while other flags are miniscule. After a little searching on the Internet, I found many coins with flags. Entering flag in the search box on Numista (en.numista.com) was extremely helpful. Below are some (definitely not all) coins that have flag designs on them.
