And while we are at the top of a new page, here is the map:

Around-The-World-With-Coins---A-Coin-Geography-Game

I crossed off some islands that were on the map that have not issues coins. And it looks like I forgot to cross off Micronesia and Marshall Islands, since neither place have issued coins.

I have two to cross off the list, but we can't seem to get there. I've got nothing to add for Africa.

Hm... there is some slight confusion on my part now. Since Burkina Faso is completely surrounded by other countries, and there is no way to go straight there from Brazil, would going there be allowed?

The same situation would also go for Mali and Niger; though both are part of West Africa (BCAEO), neither have a direct path to Brazil.


Hmm. A loophole. Time to close it.

In the future when more than one (modern) country can be represented by a single coin, you must follow rules 1 and 2 when selecting what country your coin represents.


Hope that clears thing up a little.

I will leave the current country as Burkina Faso. The next coin must border this country.

Jopseph...your map is showing a lot of red, and it is hard for my tired eyes to read some of the smaller countries we have left to hit. Would it be possible to get a list of the countries that mint coins that we haven't hit yet? Or are there too many left.

Of course it is possible. I will split the countries by continent, and count the central American islands as another one, because that area will probably be the hardest to complete. Anyways, here is the list, and I hope I got every place that is on the map:

North America
El Salvador
Saint Pierre and Miquelon
And there is also Hawaii

Central American Islands
Anguilla
Antigua and Barbuda
British Virgin Islands
Grenada
Guadeloupe
Martinique
Montserrat
Saint Kitts and Nevis
Saint Lucia
Saint Vincent
Sint Eustatius
Sint Maarten

South America
South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands

Europe
Belarus
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Estonia
Faroe Islands
Gibraltar
Liechtenstein
Lithuania
Macedonia
Moldova
Montenegro
San Marino
Serbia
Svalbard/Spitsbergen
Vatican City

Africa
Angola
Benin
Burkina Faso (only visited through the West African States so far)
Burundi
Central African Republic
Comoros
Congo - Republic
Côte d'Ivoire (only visited through the West African States so far)
Djibouti
Eritrea
Equatorial Guinea
Gabon
Gambia
Ghana
Guinea
Guinea-Bissau
Malawi
Mali
Namibia
Reunion
São Tome and Príncipe
Senegal
Sierra Leone
South Sudan
Sudan
Togo
Uganda
Western Sahara

Asia
Armenia
Azerbaijan
Brunei
Kazakhstan (only visited through the Soviet Union so far)
Kuwait
Kyrgyzstan
Maldives
Mongolia
Tajikistan
Turkmenistan

Oceania
American Samoa
Nauru
New Caledonia
Niue
Palau
Pitcairn Islands
Samoa
Tokelau
Tonga
Tuvalu

Antarctica
British Antarctic Territory

-----

I added some more places that are not listed on the map (I think all of which were islands). There could, of course, be more of those islands I forgot to list. There are a lot of them.

EDIT: Although we did technically visit Kazakhstan, Côte d'Ivoire, and Burkina Faso, I kept them on the list because they were visited through a former country much bigger than they currently are. Feel free to ignore those three, if you want.

Hm... it looks like I have no pictures of my Namibian coin, so let's go from Angola to São Tome and Príncipe.

You need to cross Kazakhstan off that list and them map.

http://goccf.com/t/302056&whichpage=3#2581185

I could, but since Kazakhstan was visited through the Soviet Union, I decided not to. Because the Soviet Union included fifteen different countries, the very same coin could technically be used to cross off each of them­­—or at least the eight countries we have not visited yet. But either way, I will add that comment next to Kazakhstan in the list I posted.
