    I'll refrain from posting my Civil War and Flavians, too, since I missed the chance.

    I do not understand this at all. What is more important, some arbitrarily applied order or seeing the coins? For me the coins are more important, but it is your thread and if the order is more important to you so be it.

    Do what you like. The list is the order. That's the opposite of arbitrary. Ignoring the sequence of the game is what's arbitrary. But do whatever you want. Play golf with a tennis racket if you like.

    Rules are what separate games from randomness, and there's plenty of other threads here (thousands, in fact) where someone can post whatever they like in whatever order they like. But if you want this thread to be random, too, have at it.

    I like looking at the coins, too. But I thought I'd structure it like a game. Without structure, it isn't a game- it's just another random picture post.

    Some people apparently prefer those. That's fine. Go ahead and ignore the game and post whatever, whenever.

    Later, maybe, when I have a mouse. Copying and pasting pictures or URLs can be such a hassle with my phone.
