[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 8219857, member: 105098"]the original statement "collecting a set of at least 1 coin from every issuing Country and/or Territory for my birth year of 1981." there will be some that are quite difficult. like was said Siberia doesn't get much out of there, Cuba would be another one. And not all countries produce their own coins either, Like New Zealand uses a couple mints around the world to produce theirs. "issuing country" might be quite a task, they all have some sort of coin. I think the number is 193 plus vatican city and palestine... 195 ish that are U.S. recognized to some extent, while theres like 251 countries UN recognized. and heck there's probably even more than that. there's 254 recognized flags lets say.... As the saying goes it's your baby, you can raise it any way you want to. Heres a list of mints around the world. it's a starting point. there's like 100 mints worldwide, some come into being after 1981, so maybe 90 if you wanted to do an example of a coin struck at every mint in the world in 1981 set. it's still a daunting task though.
