Finally Sorted My Collection! (Warning: Large Image)

South Africa? Yes!
You can kinda see them at the end on the top right corner- a 0.02 ZAR and 0.20 ZAR coin.
There's even a ZW (Zimbabwe) behind that that you can't really see.

And yeah, allranger, it was quite a hassle .
If I had the idea and method set from the start, it might've been easier to do (adding one coin at a time as I received it), but the way I did it was less informed...

I stored a few, wrote the countr, KM and year, got more, stored more, got some that had the mintmark written as well, so then I went back and added the mintmarks too. Then some that were important due to variations, so I had to go back through them all to add the variation, and then finally at some point realising I should flatten the staples, so I went through them all, flattening each, all the while still getting new coins to be added.

Very, very nice!

Your hard work has paid off. You have an impressive collection.

Thanks jbuck and bpoc!
I just have the flips in rows of 3 in 2 shoeboxes, bpoc. Should I encase the whole thing in a ziplock bag as well? And yeah, I love my rug too! Is great for lying on .

PS: I'll keep a lookout, ASE, but wasn't there a huge shortage of that coin because everyone was keeping them instead of spending them?

BTW, there are nice, TPGd 5 rands on the bay right now

It would not hurt.

Great job! I've been working all summer to reorganize my collection (still going...)

Impressive world coin collection, Babar! Have you counted them? It seems like you have a few hundred at least. And also, what is the most valuable coin you have in your collection?

There are 853 coins. And as I mentioned, I mostly just collect circulating or recently circulating coins, so nothing major of value. The most valuable would probably be a silver 1 riyal coin from 1948. The only other silver (or any precious metal, for that matter) coin I have is also visible in that picture (you can see it on the left in the circular case). I got that as a gift from an awesome Austrian CCFer.

Thank you so much for your support. You motivated me to get the Pakistani coins I had in that binder there into flips (I'm pretty sure the binder's plastic was affecting the coins) and categorise them as well, so add 2 more rows!
