Are there any rhodium or iridium coins?

Group!

Does anybody of you know, were there ever any coins
minted in rhodium or iridium?
If yes, which ones and which country minted them?
Somebody in a German forum asked that question and
I thought you may know more.
Thanks
Wolfgang

A quick look at Tony Claytons' website, which is an excellent site by the way, ( http://www.tclayton.demon.co.uk/metal.html#NotUsed )lists all known coin metals and alloys, as well as a list of metals that have not been used in coinage which includes rhodium or iridium, and gives some insight into why these alloys have not been used.

I believe I have seen a British military medal with some relation to the
troubles in the then Rhodesia around 1980. It always comes with a Rhodium
plating which gives a slight rose tint..... (was a few years ago so not
certain....).....

Not a coin but close.... and only a plating but.....

Thanks Mr Paul Baker

Hello Paul!
Thanks, I forwarded your post too but didn´t get any response
yet.
Medals are interesting too and as many others here, I started
collecting some of them yet.

I wanna see the holder you'd keep it in. :-)
