Let's see who has world coins from the most successive years.

I thought this may be an interesting topic. Starting with 2016 and working back which year is the first one not represented in your collection by a coin from somewhere in the world. I say 2016 and not 2017 because a lot of current years coins are still to be minted but 2016 in complete.

I'll start the ball rolling, although I have no expectation that I will continue to have the long stretch for very long. The first year missing for me is 1858 - a run of 158 successive years. I am sure some of the oldtimers can go back way further.

Only back to 1897 for me. I didn't think I even had every year going back that far until I checked.

 

Based on what other people have read I expected you to win this threads hands down with a sequence 2557 years!

 

I dont have anything in the 20th-21st centuries, but my collection is a year / assayer / variety run from 1790 to 1821.

 

I like the idea. I would name this "Coins and calendar".
