    1. Your post must be a coin from a country which shares a border with the previously posted country. Date is not important.
    2. If a country is on the ocean then any country across the ocean is acceptable as long as there is a direct, straight line between them with no intervening countries.

    Yep. Nice Singapore coin, but invalid play, as there is no straight-line sea route between Great Britain and Singapore. So we’re still on Great Britain.

    The rules of this thread can be challenging. I've often had to look at a map to see if there was an unbroken straight line across the ocean between certain countries.

    That kinda makes it educational on the geography front, though.

    France.

    I posted this last night, it either didn't take or it was removed.
    France has an Atlantic coastline along with the USA
    Its not a straight line due to the earths curvature.

    I reckon the "must be a straight line" rule does not count the earth's curvature, but rather refers to a straight line on a flat, two-dimensional map.
