OK, so if I'm doing this correctly, Mauritania is on the west coast of Africa, which means I can cross over the Atlantic Ocean in a straight line all the way to Mexico, right? If so, here's Mauritania to Mexico - 2008 Mexican One Kilo (32.15 Troy Ounce) Silver $100 Calendario Azteca:   [If not, would some kindly moderator please delete this so I don't embarrass myself any further...]

No problem, Barry. Mauritania to Mexico is doable - although a tight squeeze between Florida and the Bahamas. Just remember that it has to be a straight line on a globe, not a map. Most of us use Google Maps to check the paths.

And that's an incredibly fine coin - you're putting the rest of us to shame!

Sorry, as much as it pains me to say this, but I have to veto that one. There is no way to successfully navigate there between the Florida Keys and the Bahamas in a straight line. We are still in Mauritania.

Hondo, assuming you mean Mauritania (not Mauritius) to Western Africa, you are going back to the same country you came from!

Ooops - sorry about that. It was a case of 1:30 AM cranial flatulence. I meant to say Mauritania but my fingers typed Mauritius.
