It will be interesting to how many you end up with Rob. I know I was up to 214 countries then they did a recheck on their site and I went down to 207.
My problem is I don't have them all photograph, working on it but that's a lot of pics.

On my database I have 224 different countries, although I'm sometimes inconsistent about what counts as a country. I am only part of the way through listing my collection on Numista, which so far says I have coins from 152 countries Looking good!  Quote:

According to my database I have 273 unique issuers. @wheatiefan is that your info or is that from Numista? I have my own database but pull most of the information from Numista API. I didn't know until just now that they differentiated between 'countries' and 'issuers'. All of mine are issuers, so Belize and British Honduras for example count as two. |

It's amazing how the one hobby of "coin collecting" has such a wide variety of interests. The Numista maps really help to bring that out. I haven't checked my Numista map for a long time. Most of my ancients / Medievals aren't on there as those areas don't handle varieties very well. On the map the Papal States is probably quite red-ish too - but so small as to be tricky to see. I keep a better record of what I have accrued on my website for those areas. The 1 swap is an error!   Edited by Bacchus2

I agree - that is a lot, are most of them from India?

I would guesstimate 98% US - 1.9% Canadian - .01% everywhere else combined - (A small peanut can full of miscelaneous world coins).
