I've thought about assembling a set of 2000 dated coins.

@CalzoneManiac You should! It's a huge challenge to get all the countries at the time they existed. With some countries vanishing and new ones being created, everyone's collection will be slightly different.

Yes, I agree a lot of good (and great) things happened during 1962 - My birth tops the list me thinks..

The remake of Mutiny on the Bounty with Marlon Brando came out that year.
Fun fact: Brando became the first actor in the history of motion pictures to request $1 million to appear in a movie.

Don't forget How the West Was Won.

I already have a 2000 mint set and 2000 ASE. Granted I was born after the Cold War ended and there hasn't really been much change since that year. I'd like to say less than five new countries have been birthed (East Timor, Kosovo, and South Sudan for sure).

Yes I do have the Malaya, but never heard of the Kris Knife coin. Might need to look that one up. Was Kris Knife his own country in 1962?

It's a really cool coin, only minted in 1962. If I were to choose one coin to represent Malaya and British Borneo, I'd choose the Cent. Here's what it looks like:
