Checklist Coinage:
[ ] Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Australian Territory, 2003-2004 NCLT;
see Keeling-Cocos for earlier dates
[ ] Keeling-Cocos Islands, under Straits Settlements, 1913 token
issues
[ ] Under Australia, 1977; these coins and the following tokens were issued after the islands' name was officially changed;
see Cocos (Keeling) Islands for later dates.
[ ] Token issues, 1968
Note: I inserted brackets here where the checklist line items have boxes to check in the WORD document because this forum shows a character code instead of the boxes.

It think it is time for another update - and I'm progressing quite well from my last map update.  |

Wow, that is an impressive map! Mine will never get much better due to the constraints of my collecting themes, but I admire World Coin collections with this breadth  |

Most recently it has been from Tunisia - a French colonial 20F and a Carthage tridrachm. Over the last 5 years I've slowly added Lydia, Mysia, and some Seleucids. Next up French Celtic.

Same world, older places. That's my attitude as well, though my places are not as old as yours. Though I already have "Germany" and "Italy" and "Netherlands," in 2024 I added medievals from these new issuers: Germany: Archbishopric of Trier, Duchy of Kleves Italy: County of Correggio, Lordship of Padua, Papal State of Ravenna, City of Verona Netherlands: City of Deventer |

I don't have coins from as many countries as most of you. Current count is at 47. This doesn't include five Judean items or the dozen or so German States coins.
Some of these coins were acquired when I was a youngster. In the 1970's I would send a few cents away to companies advertising in comic books for an assortment of world coins. I was fascinated at seeing so many different designs, especially the "scalloped" aluminum coins from Israel.
