I did learn a lot about world coins during this trip - and how to date Arabic and other Islamic coins using their calendars and converting them over.

I really NEED to find one more country out there to make it to 80.

Maybe Burundi.

I had already looked at Burundi - on the main page for that country it shows "1960-1964" but if you look further they minted coins in 1960, 1961, then they jump to 1964 A lot of the countries have just skipped the year 1962 for some reason.
I starting to wonder why.

Was it the Cuban Missile Crisis? And most countries said " the world is over, why bother minting coins now?"

Ok, I didn't go that far into it.

This one is 1962...

Or this one. How deep are your pockets?
