<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 1596239, member: 4703&quot;]This thread got me curious, so I checked out my One Per Regime collection -</p><p><br /></p><p>Not counting several as yet unsorted world junk tray acquisitions that may have more, I found coins from 209 distinct geographic areas, among 431 total coins.&nbsp; None are from places like American Samoa which only issue NCLT, and none are from imaginary countries like Sealand.</p><p><br /></p><p>The oldest is a 1628<b>*</b> Japanese cast bronze 1 mon representing the period when Japan was ruled by the Shogunate, and the newest is a 2008 Japanese bronze 10 yen representing the reign of Heisei Emperor Akihito.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Oceana, and every continent except Antarctica are respresented.&nbsp; Alphabetically the coins are from Afghanistan through Zimbabwe, which are the first and last countries represented in the&nbsp; 20th/21st Century Krause catalogs.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the 17th Century the German State of Aachen headed the list, and the Dutch State of Zwolle brought up the rear.</p><p>Aachen remained at the head of the list in the 18th Century, but the Swiss Canton of Zurich took over last place.</p><p>Afghanistan took its place on top of the list in the 19th Century, and has retained it ever since.&nbsp; Zanzibar was the 19th Century tail-end Charlie, and Zimbabwe took its place during the 20th Century as the modern name for what had been the British Colony of Southern Rhodesia.</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><p><b>*</b>I do have a few ancients, but they aren&#039;t cataloged in the OPR collection.</p></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
