<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2251211, member: 19463&quot;]Any collector of any old coins might enjoy looking at maps of the regions that made the coins.&nbsp; We tend to think of the world as divided as it is now but borders, names and combinations have changed so often that it means next to nothing to say a coin is, for example, Indian or Italian (examples of modern countries that were not long ago divided into many separate jurisdictions.&nbsp; Some of us call coins Indian that were made in places now included in Pakistan.&nbsp; South India did not have links with the North but the North did with parts of what we call Afghanistan.&nbsp; Many of us know some of these former places because of our geneology studies and you might want to avoid calling someone from Wales &#039;British&#039; or a Basque &#039;Spanish&#039;.&nbsp; These mixes and matches have been going on long before we had coins.&nbsp; Coins can be ridiculously educational if we let them be.&nbsp; Maps are fun and there are thousands online.&nbsp; Of course some of them changed in less than a year and places appear and disappear so frequently that online seems the best way to store the millions of pages.</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Ustrushana+map&amp;espv=2&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=685&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0CBwQsARqFQoTCNHGkPW3vcgCFYN2HgodncYDsQ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Ustrushana+map&amp;espv=2&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=685&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0CBwQsARqFQoTCNHGkPW3vcgCFYN2HgodncYDsQ" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=Ustrushana+map&amp;espv=2&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=685&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0CBwQsARqFQoTCNHGkPW3vcgCFYN2HgodncYDsQ</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
