Ok, here we go. A Distance Challenge
My starting coin is the legendary 1925 Penny, minted in Melbourne Australia. It has the smallest "official" mintage of all Australian circulating pennies and is scarce in any condition.
None of the above matters in the context of this challenge.....except the place of mintage.
Post your coin that has been minted at a location that is furthest away from the the coin that yours is following.... do you follow?
For instance, say the second coin has been minted in San Francisco USA.
Dr. Google will tell you that the shortest distance (air line) between Melbourne and San-Francisco is 7,865.14 mi (12,657.72 km).
But once that second location is posted, the third coin posted will use the second location as it's starting point.... and so on..... do you follow? A bit like Around the World...
Have as many tries as you like in the next 3 days, but your coin must follow someone else's coin. Longest distance of separation wins! Earliest entry wins in the event of a tie. Starting point cannot be the same as the end point....i.e. complete circumnavigation of the globe is not allowed...
Go!.
