Yep I agree with jbuck use the South Pole.


Using the south pole still wouldn't beat NZ. It is about 9,250 mi.

There seem to be a few fantasy coins for the Chatham Islands, but I wonder if any of these coins have ever been anywhere near the islands? I suppose the capital is the same as New Zealand's.


They are fully a part of NZ, so Wellington should be used for distance. In that case, it would be the same as @bd251's coin, though he is the only one to actually post a coin from NZ of any year or denominaton in personal possession.

I am surprised no one has yet posted anything from this rather remote place:

I think it's time to call this one. Great entries and nice to see some coins from places seldom represented on the forum!

Final standings:

Palouche - 3,379 miles
Arkie - 9,798 mi
bd251 - 11,238 mi (twice )
jbuck - 9,798 mi
keith12 - 6,559 mi
mysilveryears - 10,325 mi (2nd and farthest entry)
mcshilling - 1,008 mi (to London, or 9,250 miles to somewhere around the South Pole )
Spence - 10,096 mi
pepactonius - 10,881 mi

Clearly, bd251 is the winner of this round and even had to beat himself to do it!

Thanks for the participation, and if anyone is wondering, I used https://www.distancefromto.net for all of the calculations.

Take it away, bd251!

Hmm... You guys are going to have to give me the day to think of something for the next round. Do you guys want a coin or token challenge?

I like tokens. We do not see them all that much here. It is going to become harder and harder to come up with new challenge ideas. Eventually some of the previously used ones will need to be recycled.

Since it will be the minority anyway, I vote for a token challenge.
