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.

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. Quote: 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. 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).

If I were to choose one coin to represent Malaya and British Borneo, I'd choose the Cent. Here's what it looks like:
