<p>[QUOTE="Gao, post: 650125, member: 19409"]The only issue here is that I'm pretty sure that some nations didn't produce any coinage in their first year. To solve this, you could include paper money when coins weren't made in their first year but paper was, use whatever coinage was circulating in that first year (as there was probably some sort of coinage circulating before the country finally started making its own currency), or collect coins from the first year that coins were made in each country after it was formed.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, how far back are you looking to go with this? It sounds like you're focusing on the 20th century and onwards. Is that correct? Because this idea could get very awkward if you want your collection to go as far back as possible or something, and you decide that you need a coin from each city-state in ancient Greece.</p><p> </p><p>Edit: And even if you stick with modern countries, getting yourself first year coins from really old countries like England, France, or even worse China (unless you count the founding of the People's Republic the beginning), is going to be really hard, partially because they often didn't date them in obvious ways to specific years back then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
