Canada and Mex are really tied, and both way down below US coins

I voted for "I collect everywhere"; I'm mainly a one-from-every-country guy. But going purely by the numbers, my top 10 countries are:

Australia: 662 (not counting decimals pulled from circulation)
USA: 506
Great Britain: 499
Canada: 360
Germany: 293
France: 206
New Zealand: 157 (also not including decimals).
Roman Empire: 152
India: 133
Belgium: 125
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I am an OFEC collector also. Have coins right now from 201 countries listed in the KM catalogue. But also have collected all the Canadian dollars from 1935 to 1968(when they went to nickel), and all the Canada 5 cents except 1875-H, 1921, and 1947 dot.

Primarily Canadian then US
For many years it was primarily Canadian then OFEC,
but for the last couple of years US small cents and quarters have usurped attention from the dark side

I concentrate on US coins.

I do have a large number of Canadian coins from living in border states. I have kept every Canadian coin I have ever received in change, so there are plenty of duplicates.

I also have a dark side collection of about 160 coins. Almost all of my UK coins came from a family of UK expats that lived next to me when I was a kid. Other than a few "Coins of the World" grab-bags my mother bought me, most of my dark side coins came from friends that traveled and brought them back to me.

GB and USA primarily, but if I like it I will buy it. I also have a small number of Canadian and other foreign. If it's silver and I like it, I will generally buy it. One of things I have on my "To Do" list of collections down the road is to collect 19th century dollar sized coins from around the world. U.S (Morgan & Trade) GB Trade, and various European. I think it would be a pretty interesting collection.
