Here's an online quiz I've just put together. There are 161 different coins from my collection, each with the name of the country of origin blurred out. Your job is to correctly guess which countries that these coins come from. (There is no penalty for guessing wrong.) http://www.sporcle.com/games/nalabe...ries-by-coinGood luck! Edited by nalaberong

Well got a little better than I thought I would. 17/161 mostly from the coins my dad collected while in the Navy.

Thought I would do alright since I have no fear picking through piles of cheap world coins at every coin shop I got into. But...I only got 23 at %14. That certainly was challenging.

Sorry for the delay in replying; I never had time until tonight. I scored 136... but I ran out of time at question #137.  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

The quiz was a lot of fun; thanks for taking the time to create it. If I had to complain about something, it would be that "United kingdom" was the correct answer for a coin that Krause designates as "Great Britain." For this reason I am filing a complaint with dean and attempting to get my tuition refunded.
All kidding aside, I thought I would do better than I did. I was not able to finish in the allotted time and only got 41 correct out of 99. And yes, I am counting the "Great Britain" one as correct.
Best Wishes,
SW

Sounds like a great game. Possibly should be done in some way to sell at coin shows or coin stores. For me, I'd fail. I have enough trouble with what is a US coin.

...Most of you used google anyways... I was typing pretty much constantly for the entire 20 minutes of the quiz. In order to get a full score, you'd need to get an answer right, on average, once every 7.5 seconds. On average. There's no time to look stuff up on Google.

Numismatics International does a coin quiz twice a year at our Dallas member meetings. But we don't erase the names from the coins!

46 out of 161...not as good as I thought I was. Got so high mostly just because I could read the unerased arabic names of some of the countries.
My worst was probably with South America...
