<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kuhli, post: 64942, member: 86&quot;]Montenegro became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats &amp; Slovenes in 1918 (after WWI ended the Ottoman rule of the southern region, and Hapsburg reign in the north), which later changed it&#039;s name to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (southern Slavs).&nbsp; Through all the civil wars and seccessions, Montenegro has remained tied (although much more loosely, now) to Serbia, now taking the name of Serbia &amp; Montenegro.&nbsp; I predict that within the next 5-10 years, Montenegro will finally sever ties with Serbia, and once again become an independent nation, but in the mean time, I would consider them as Yugoslavia, as that is the only coinage used there in the last 80+ years.Sarawak united with several other British protectorates to form a string of commonwealths, now known as Malaysia.&nbsp; Since Malaysian coins are the current coinage in Sarawak, I think that is where they belong.If only the people could behave as well as the coins.</p><p>No.&nbsp; Nederlandsch Indies (Dutch East Indies) became Indonesia, Dansk Vestindien (Danish West Indies) were sold to the United States to become the US Virgin Islands, half-way around the world from Indonesia.One in the same.&nbsp; The name was changed in 1957.Chances are you don&#039;t have a whole lot of any of the above, since they all have issued few coins, so why not keep them all in one album, with maps and information to follow the division of Fr. Indochina into separate nations.My suggestion is to do what works for you.&nbsp; For me, one of my areas of interest is the USSR and the new independent republics that was the Soviet Union.&nbsp; As many of these are new to issuing coins, instead of separate albums for each, I have broken it down into regions: central Asia (Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan); Trans-Caucasia (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia); etc.&nbsp; I imagine that eventually, I will have to begin to divide these out individually, to keep them more manageable, but for the time being, this is what works for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
