Marie Byrd Land is an unclaimed territory in West Antarctica — the largest such territory on Earth — and has no permanent population, no government, and no monetary system.

This one is copper plated steel at 12.4 g, a weight that exceeds most legitimate 10-cent pieces by a considerable margin, which tells you something about the priorities of whoever struck it.
