Featured A world tour - post the next country.

Wow, that is an old one, Min Guo year 3 = 1914. Is that Sun Yat Sen on the obverse? China was a bit fragmented during those times, so I will post another Chinese coin from a different part of the country, if I may. Guang Dong may have been sort of autonomous then, I am not sure.

Head south to Burma

 

I think that may be the first Burmese coin I have ever seen. I would not have known what it was.

 

Pocket change yesterday 10 Baht. Thai year 2560 = 2017 AD

 

Just south of the border to Kelantan

 

Straits Settlements, somewhere around there...

 

Got this from a friend of the wife's a few days ago. Her husband found it in a wall when he went to repair some wiring on their house. Yes it is a very old house.

There is just enough detail to tell what it is. As for a date...who knows?

Philippines to the US

1864-1873 US 2 Cent Piece.

 

Across the pond to Portugal

 

Algeria, 1945 50 cents, or centimes?

 

Eastern Algeria abuts a bit against the disputed area known to some as the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic

 

I like that coin. Went to find out more about it, but had a difficult time locating in The Standard Catalog. Found out that it is actually a " 30th Anniversary French - Algerian Clash " commemorative issued in 1975.

 

Good lesson in geography and recent world history, thanks! Here is one from Morocco.

 

Portugal

 

I have been very remiss in posting to this thread which I created. This fall has been crazily busy for me and I have rarely been on the computer which stores all my coin pictures. So have not contribute to this thread or to the other picture threads. But I have been following it with interest and I have tracking the posts. Every four or five pages I have counted the coins from the various countries and thought you may be interested in seeing the results from the first 30 pages (600 posts). If I have time I will repeat these updates every 10 pages. So here goes:

In 600 posts we had 514 coins posted. Some were duplicates (from the same people, no less, in many cases). 233 different countries were represented! Some of those were the same countries under different names. Believe it or not, USA did not occur until post #528 and France until #531, two countries which may have been expected to occur early. Posts #599 and #600 both represented new countries.

There are some surprises: why does Bhutan occur six time but Hungary and Czechoslovakia not at all; why does Turkey, at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, only occur once; why did USA not occur once in the first 500 posts?

Here are the country-by-country totals based on the number of times they occurred:

12: Philippines
11: Peru
9: Brazil, India
8: Japan
6: Australia, Belgium, Bhutan, China, Cuba, Russia

Are you sure there are only 12 posts for the Philippines? I am sure it's in the hundreds.....

Ok, just kidding.

Carry on.

 

That is quite interesting the way you computed the totals and statistics that way. I thought of posting a US coin, so since Portugal was the last one, here goes. US of A.

 

Possibly since it is in the "World Coins" forum.
