| Additional information |
Bir Tawil is an unclaimed strip of land between Egypt and Sudan — neither country wants it, due to a border discrepancy created by competing 1899 and 1902 boundary agreements. It has no government, no population, and no monetary system. Coins issued in its name are produced by private mints exploiting the novelty of a stateless territory, with no issuing authority behind them whatsoever.
Pachycephalosaurus canadensis is not a recognized species. The valid species is Pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis, found in the Hell Creek Formation of the American West — nowhere near Canada.
