<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jlblonde, post: 1456000, member: 32000&quot;]I know what you mean. I have recently created a Central Asian binder that includes the Caucasus countries (i.e.: Armenia Georgia, Azerbaijan,etc.), those of the former Soviet Union (i.e.: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, etc.), Iran and Afghanistan. </p><p><br /></p><p>Although the Caucasus countries are technically European, the relative distance from the bulk of European countries and their close proximity to the middle east and central asia, I had to make the hard choice of lumping them into a Central Asian binder. To me Iran is not a middle east country despite it&#039;s location and political associations. The majority of the people are not Arab and their language is Indo-European in origin. So I felt it only right to place Iran in central asia. Afghanistan is also placed in central asia whereas Pakistan is in my Indo-Asian binder with Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh. My india collection stands on it&#039;s own with two binders: Ancient/Colonial India and Modern India. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m striving for the day when almost all nations will have their own binder. This means that for some nations with low or almost no circulating coinage, I&#039;ll have to start collecting NCLT&#039;s to bulk up the coin holder pages and fill the binder as much as possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
