CHINA, coins of the rebels and insurgents during the Qing dynasty, 1644-1911 AD.
    "Everyone" has heard of the Taiping rebels and coin people are familiar with their coins.  Come to think of it, do not some aspects of the Rev. Sung Myung Moon operation seem somewhat Taiping-like?  And then there were the "Boxers," who also put out a few rare coins.  And more.  You know, even today there is that group in Xinjiang that is technically in armed rebellion against the second strongest military in the world.  Imagine if there was a decades old armed rebellion, however repressed, in, say, northern Montana?
