In honor of the upcoming 25th anniversary of the famous song Yakko's World, from the even more famous cartoon series Animaniacs (whose own 25th anniversary is also upcoming), I decided to make a Days Of thread celebrating the countries listed in this excellent song.
Because, honestly, why the ch*rp not? That song is awesomeful.

May 1: San Juan! I'm not sure what place this refers to, and none of the ones I could think of issued coins, so it's a bonus day!
Post coins from any missing countries in South America!
(I don't think we're missing any in mainland North America, but if you can think of any, post those too.)
May 2: Paraguay
May 3: Uruguay

July 9: New Guinea, um, I think they probably meant Papua New Guinea, but either would work
July 10: Sumatra! That's an island, not a country, so you get a bonus day!
Post your coins from any missing Western Pacific countries!
July 11: New Zealand
July 12: Borneo! Um, that's also an island, but we already had that bonus. Let's assume it's either British North Borneo, State of North Borneo, or Malaya and British Borneo. Post those.
...Oh, and if you have any other coins from Borneo, post those too. I'm not sure if there are any.

So, bonus day! Post your coins from any missing African countries!
August 16: Dahomey, yes, they made coins, no, Benin doesn't count, it has its own day
August 17: Namibia
August 18: Senegal... OK, I know their coins are really rare, you can just skip this one if you don't have anything to post
August 19: Libya
August 20: Cameroon
August 21: Congo! Any of the Congos! Specifically, any country that has Congo in its name!

doesn't have Congo in its name
August 23: Ethiopia
August 24: Guinea-Bissau - includes Portuguese Guinea
August 25: Madagascar

August 29: Cayman! That is, the Cayman Islands, I think
August 30: Hong Kong

September 1: Qatar
September 2: Yugoslavia! Which doesn't exist any more by now. Just post anything from that place. Yes, that includes the Serbian Empire, why not?
September 3: Crete! Yes, they actually made coins! It's a funny story.
September 4: Mauritania - or Mauretania if you have any
September 5: Transylvania! No, that's not the place Vlad Dracula was from, that was Wallachia. Bram Stokes just happened to get confused.
Hey, might as well post coins from Wallachia too, not like either is that common really. And add Moldavia and Wallachia while we're at that.
Actually, why not. Mini-bonus day. Post coins from any missed countries from any regions that I forgot to cover by bonus days earlier. If there are any.
September 6: Monaco
September 7: Liechtenstein
September 8: Malta
September 9: Palestine
September 10: Fiji
September 11: Australia
September 12: Sudan
September 13: World Wrap-Up! Post your coins from any countries, in any sections, that you missed posting on their proper day! Also celebrate the 25th anniversary of Animaniacs itself!
September 14: finally, the 25th anniversary of Yakko's World! Celebrate the long history of both the song and the show, and post whatever coins you ch*rping want! No, seriously.
I'd say "post away", but that's not due until tomorrow. Though if you want to you can still post away.
Oh, yeah, and vaguely related items are very much welcome on any of the days if you really don't have anything closer. I want this thread to be as inclusive as realistically possible
I'd still prefer to see more actually properly related stuff, however.
