Posting Coins Alphabetically?

If you want to get all the countries, than you will have to
wait until one from each country is posted. It might take a
day .. or weeks.

And as suggested, post out a list of each country. Maybe monitor it each day .. let us know what the next country is.

Just looking at the pages ... I am thinking it might be very hard
to get a coin from all of them. You might want to leave a option
to skip a country are a certain number of days.

Some of those countries I never heard of ...
And I almost made it all the way through skcool ...

Fuzzy317 ... 99 is a lot .. be fun to see what you got.

I might have 3 or 4 to add ..

on your 2nd page, can't read the top four on the left

EDIT - checking the list, Canada is missing
EDIT2 - UK or England - nevermind on this one
EDIT3 - on your 1st page, can't read bottom left
EDIT4 - missing Uganda

I think I can read them: Kelantan, Kenya, Khmer Republic, and Kiribati.


That looks like Chad.

Adding on to the missing countries, I see neither Andorra nor São Tome and Príncipe. There should probably be a typed-up list or something, including countries that are missing, to make it easier to read. Altogether though, I find this quite interesting. I have no coins from Afghanistan, but can participate once we reach Albania.

EDIT: East Timor, Kyrgyzstan, Ottoman Empire, Samoa, Turkmenistan, Uganda, and Ukraine all seem to be missing as well.

The specific list needs to be typed and included (maybe as a clearly legible image or two to save space) in the first post of a New topic that will be the official place to post coins to get things started and one that has a more appropriate title.

You can make whatever rules about time limits on difficult countries/states/empires, etc.

I'm interested because I have a decent handful of countries to contribute and seeing all the others would be cool.

Also, I'm not familiar with that list but at least any obviously missing countries/independent states should be added (one big one may be U.S. Colonial).

So, compile the final list, tweak the rules and make a new official topic. Off we go!

Wow, everyone is taking kindly to this idea!
What I gather from everyone's ideas is:

Type up a list of the countries

Create a new thread, this one is just a notice about the topic

Post a link to the thread in the world coins section.

This is a fairly reasonable list to do, and shouldn't be too hard over the weekend. Again, thanks for helping me with the processs!

Should be interesting!

Also a few (Austria, Indonesia...) are doubled, and there are several random typos (including a "Nejaz", which is clearly intended to be Hejaz, but listed under N).

Only 99? I count 120+ for myself just on the first page (though I haven't made photos of most of those yet).


...There's actually a similar project currently going on at Numista. I suppose we can just steal their country list (though it's obviously still in progress).
[EDIT: forgot to link to the Numista project, sorry.]

Alternately, we can go by Yakko's World - starting "United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama..." and ending "...Fiji, Australia, Sudan".
That list can obviously be a bit tricky (though I'm willing to cover Crete and Sumatra), but we can say that if nothing from the specific country is posted after a few days then a coin that's only related to it can be posted (starting immediately if it's a country, such as Guam, that never had its own coins), and if there's still nothing in a few more days then we can skip it entirely.
