<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sakata, post: 2961533, member: 23778&quot;]I have been very remiss in posting to this thread which I created.&nbsp; This fall has been crazily busy for me and I have rarely been on the computer which stores all my coin pictures.&nbsp; So have not contribute to this thread or to the other picture threads.&nbsp; But I have been following it with interest and I have tracking the posts.&nbsp; 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).&nbsp; If I have time I will repeat these updates every 10 pages.&nbsp; So here goes:</p><p><br /></p><p>In 600 posts we had 514 coins posted.
