Expanded icosidodecahedron
The expanded icosidodecahedron is a polyhedron, constructed as an expanded icosidodecahedron. It has 122 faces: 20 triangles, 60 squares, 12 pentagons, and 30 rhombs. The 120 vertices exist at two sets of 60, with a slightly different distance from its center.

Dissection
    
This polyhedron can be dissected into a central rhombic triacontahedron surrounded by: 30 rhombic prisms, 20 tetrahedra, 12 pentagonal pyramids, 60 triangular prisms.
If the central rhombic triacontahedron and the 30 rhombic prisms are removed, you can create a toroidal polyhedron with all regular polygon faces.
