I only count:[ul][li]pennies[/li][li]nickels[/li][li]dimes[/li][li]quarters[/li][li]half dollars[/li][li]and that oddball Sacajewia dollar coin[/ul]That makes 6 denominations. A few more, if you include paper currency and historical coins like the 20-cent piece and the 3-cent nickel (not to mention all those gold coins with “eagle” in their name).[/li]  
But even with these, there’s nowhere near thirty thousand.
