Okay folks this is my 500th post

In celebration of this milestone I'm keeping up with tradition and have decided to have a giveaway contest

Contest Rules:
1. You need at least 50 posts to play
2. Only one guess per hint
3. Hints will be given every other day until someone guesses the answer correctly

The Contest:
I am almost done completing a new type set but only I know the theme. The first person to correctly name the theme will win the prize.

The Prize:
A 2007 Uncirculated U.S. Mint Set




So without further ado....Hint #1 1939 to 1945

Hint #2 - By 1942 there were 43 different governments listed

Hint #3 - Exact same name as a popular board game

I think I know.... Your collecting coins that are approximately half dollar sizes, and they all seem to have some form of nature on it.... Most noticeably plants/leaves, some even have mountains.... I think thats what your trying to collect am I right?

I'm pretty sure deadmunny is correct, unless........ if english plays a part, Theme: All countries who were part of the League of Nations, even after withdrawal/expulsion and size of the coins are about half dollar sizes..... But I'm sure deadmunny has got it... I think...

Someone's been peeking at my website

The League of Nations by 1942 was a paltry representation of 24 non-effective participating members. Even with the expulsions & withdraws the League never had membership above 42. Yet the clue was 43

Keep up the research. The answer is out there.
