To be clear, the straight line has to be on a globe. Some straight lines on a Mercator map, for example China to Canada, are impossible on a globe. If you use Google Maps, it will "curve" the lines on the Mercator view to show what is really a straight shot.

From Egypt we can sail straight north and back in time to the Ottoman Empire (Turkey), where in Constantinople (Istanbul) Abdülmecid I had this 1 kurus coin minted in the year 1255 (Anno Hegirae system, = 1844? 1848?). 
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
