Featured A world tour - post the next country.

It appears that if we aim carefully, we can get to Iceland without hitting another sovereignty. Thus, I upload for your viewing pleasure, an Icelandic 1922 ten-aurar (KM 1.1).

Over to The Faeroe Islands

 

Down to Ireland

 

And then east to Great Britain. I don't know what it is about these farthings I like so much. Is it that they are one-quarter penny? Is it the history? Is it that they're pretty?

In any case, a 1929 one farthing (KM 825).

 

All I can do from here is take us back to Iceland

 

To Azores.

 

It looks like that if we go to the western most of the Azores and angle ourselves just right, we can hit The Gambia. A 1966 penny (KM 1).

 

Cape Verde

 

Thank you ever so much for the reminder that Cabo Verde is sitting there on the western coast of Africa! A quick read the Cape Verde's wikipedia entry was chock full of new things that I learned today!

I wish I had some more to keep us in Africa for a while but I will have to take us to Guyana with this 2007, ten dollars (KM 52).

 

From Guyana to the Eastern Caribbean States

My wife got this coin today as part of her change from our local store. It is the same diameter as a US quarter and was mistaken for one.

 

1962 Netherlands Suriname 1 gulden

 

Rather than go back to Guyana, I present to you a Brazilian 1951 cruzeiro that has seen much better days . . . .

 

1999 Argentina 1 centavo

 

Argentina to South Africa

 

Botswana

 

Zimbabwe.
One dollar 1980.

 

1945 Portuguese Mocambique 50 centavos

 

It looks like I can make a straight line to Kenya skirting the Tanzania coastline.

Mozambique to Kenya

Zanzibar.
