<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sakata, post: 2693322, member: 23778&quot;]According to the SCWC there are approximately 1400 issuing entities since 1600.&nbsp; Some, of course, only have one very rare coin so very few people will have the resources to acquire&nbsp; many of them.&nbsp; Others only minted for a few years in the 17th Century.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how many can be considered reasonable to have in a typical collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>So let&#039;s say that there are 500 issuing entities which it is reasonable for the average collector to acquire.&nbsp; &nbsp; Today I received a coin from Bangladesh.&nbsp; It was nothing special.&nbsp; A BU steel coin from 1974 which cost me a dollar.&nbsp; But it was my 160th different issuing entity. Only another (approximately) 340 to go!&nbsp; I&#039;m almost a third of the way there!</p><p><br /></p><p>How about the rest of you?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
