These are actual $1.00 coins from the Somali Republic in Africa. Very unique coins.
GUITAR COINS FROM SOMALI REPUBLIC 
The multi-colored Guitar coins have proved unbelievably popular with coin collectors, guitar enthusiasts, Rock 'n Roll fans and the general public. These multi-color guitar coins are designed after famous electric guitars. The coins are dated 2004 and were issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Rock 'n Roll. The designs include the classic red and white Fender Stratocaster, an American Flag Stars and Stripes Gibson Flying V, a black Gibson Flying V, a pink star Guitar used by various rock stars including Gary Glitter and Abba, a blue Gibson X-Plorer and a yellow Klein. These six pieces complete the original series, though series has been so popular that I would not be surprised if some new designs are issued in the future.
The coins are 1 Dollar legal tender coins issued by the Somali Republic (though I seriously doubt any have ever circulated in Somalia). They are approximately 45mm (1.75 inches) long. Currently, all of the issues are in silver plate and the American Flag guitar in copper-nickel. The designs of the copper-nickel and Silver-plated issues are identical.   |

Yes,I really really don't get the concept of Flying V coins and Somalia.

collectors from USA will buy them and money will be circulated to Somali warlords for the purchase of new AK's...
That country is SCREWED up in a major way. Coins aren't going to help one bit. They need a legitimate gov't, and they need help from outside.
We tried once upon a time and got more than a few good men killed for nothing... 
If I'm up to date on my African current/recent events, Ethiopia is doing what they can to help them but it's like a drop in the bucket...

I really wonder if there's a way for Somalia's salvation.That country is so FUBAR we need a few miracles to make it better.Even if Jesus,Mohammed & Moses came from the skies holding hands,I'm pretty sure they'd catch a few AK rounds...

I would say, though, that the phrase "legitimate government" is a slippery slope. What Somalia needs is a government the people are happy with. |

I think that they have been without a gov't and without real hope for so long, I'm not sure that they even know what peace really is. Quote:

I just feel real bad for the people there though. I'm thinking that it's going to take a miracle to put things right there.

Besides, my back-up plan is to be a Somali Pirate. I can't advocate for anything that'd mess that up.  |

I admit it's tempting to buy some, for the novelty, but sadly I agree with the statement that the only Somalis that will get anything from it are the ones with the most guns. |

Seems like a Nigerian bank scam to me. I mean why would one have an American flag? OK so it's not a Nigerian scam but a QVC scam, same thing. |
