[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 624962, member: 6370"]under that criteria I have come very close to having accomplished that milestone as I do believe I have at least one coin from most currently existing nations though I am sure there are some I am still missing from Asia and Africa (not many though). My problem is although I never discard or get rid of a coin, I have a real dislike of modern coins...although I keep them in my world coin collection, I seldom look to purchase them...most come to me in lots, from my own travels, or from the travels of others that I know. I work in an industry where a lot of people I know and myself travel a lot and we bring back lots of change :) Some places dont even mint coins, or if they do, they arent easily found...for instance I went to Nigeria and all I found were Nira bills. I DO have a coin from Nigeria but it is an old one that could not be found in circulation there (or at least I didnt find one)...or the Sudan...I have coin from there but again...it was not from ciculation but an older one bought in a bulk lot which is the only way I might purchase common world coins...I find one I want in a lot and I get 50 others with it :)[/QUOTE]
