<p>[QUOTE="Histman, post: 2968539, member: 75066"]Okay, so I have gone back and thought about this idea over the weekend. Frankly, getting every coin, from every country, produced in my birth year (1966) is quite daunting. Not only are there over five hundred coins, several are gold and a bit pricey. In thinking my way around this, I decided if I was to do this, I would limit my collection to the lowest denomination produced in that year for each country (cent - US; 5 pesos - Argentina, etc.). These would only be coins produced for circulation. No proof coins or commemorative coins. Many of those produced in my birth year from some of the more obscure countries were commemorative coins. By narrowing my target in this way I have reduced the total of coins to 85. All of these 85 coins I found offered on Ebay for a couple of bucks each. So it is definitely doable. Next issue -- storage. The only thing I can think of would be to create my own album with coins in 2 x 2 flips, and then label them myself. I know you can create your own albums with some of the companies, but I don't think you can vary the size of the coins on each sheet. I am definitely open to other suggestions for storage and display, however.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
