That is the first time that place has been visited.

Rather than posting an updated version of the map quite yet, here are the places in Africa we have left to visit:

Benin
Burkina Faso
Comoros
Congo, Republic of
Côte d'Ivoire
Equatorial Guinea
Senegal
Togo
Uganda
Western Sahara

Out of those places, I only have a coin from Uganda, although I do not have any pictures on-hand. So instead, using the tip of Djbouti, let's travel up the Red Sea and go to Egypt:

On a side-note, here are the places left in Europe to visit:

Bosnia and Herzegonina
Faroe Islands
Gibraltar
Liechtenstein
Macedonia
Moldova
Motenegro
San Marino
Svladbard/Spitsbergen

So nice to have this down to a more manageable list!

I have Belgian Congo (currently DRC) if you want to swing back through the heart of Africa. After that, I can only help with Macedonia (assuming I can cover this with a coin from ancient Macedon...)

The DRC was visited by yours truly a while back. The one listed is the Republic of the Congo, located just west of the DRC.

Does this mean we have already visited Monaco? A city state on the Mediterranean coast of France?

I mean, we will have to swing back down eventually. I guess whether it is sooner or later is up to whoever posts the next coin (and it is fine by me either way).

Yup! Dorado got that one, but it has not been visited since.

I might as well post what we need from each continent/area:

North America
Saint Pierre and Miquelon
Possibly Hawaii

Central American Islands
Anguilla
Antigua and Barbuda
Dominica
Grenada
Guadeloupe
Martinique
Montserrat
Saint Lucia
Saint Vincent
Sint Eustatius
Sint Maarten

South America
South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands

Europe
Bosnia and Herzegonina
Faroe Islands
Gibraltar
Liechtenstein
Macedonia
Moldova
Motenegro
San Marino
Svladbard/Spitsbergen

Africa
Benin
Burkina Faso
Comoros
Congo, Republic of
Côte d'Ivoire
Equatorial Guinea
Senegal
Togo
Uganda
Western Sahara

Asia
Done!

Oceania
American Samoa
Nauru
Niue
Palua
Pitcairn Islands
Samoa
Tokelau
Tonga

Antarctica
British Antarctic Territory

-----

Aside from Uganda and two islands from Oceania, I can only supply countries in Europe. The places I do not have are Faroe Islands, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, and Svalbard. Does anyone else have any of those?


Although, I am not sure how realistic it is to complete the Central American islands. I think a lot of them might just be countermarked 8 reales coins, but I am sure which ones...

If we get up there (to Italy), I can currently add one for Europe and another when I receive the coins.

I'm also watching a set from the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. That would be in Asia. If you look further, there are other places that issued coins not listed, say... Abkhazia.
