When creating a new “Coin”, which ERCs should one consider checking out?

Question

When I created a simple coin as a proof concept, I just used ERC20 (Token Standard). Right after creating the contract and showing it to some colleagues, I found out that I should've implemented ERC223 instead, which is a more secure token standard.

What other ERCs should one be aware of when creating new Coins?

Answer 1

ERC-223 is the successor to ERC-20, which solved a few pitfalls found in ERC-20.

There's also ERC-721 for non-fungible tokens (such as CryptoKitties).

Answer 2

I have reviewed and studied these ones during my work on 721.
