<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeepfreak81, post: 8167277, member: 93888&quot;]Hey all,</p><p><br /></p><p>So as part of my &quot;new year&#039;s resolution&quot;....I hate that term, but I digress....anyway I&#039;m trying to get a better focus on what it is I actually want to collect.</p><p><br /></p><p>As part of that I hatched an idea.&nbsp; I have most of the US coins from my birth year and I was thinking it would be cool to extend that worldwide.&nbsp; So I&#039;m going through the Krause catalog to make a list of all the countries/ruling authorities that had a coin for my birth year - 1981.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not a list of EVERY coin mind you - just the places that had any coin available.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know alot of world coins, a little bit about Egyptian coins because I&#039;ve researched some dates and such but aside from that I don&#039;t know much.&nbsp; I&#039;m only like 3 countries into my list and running into questions/problems.&nbsp; It looks to me like there are countries that only released coins occasionally, Albania for instance.&nbsp; So (i&#039;m pulling these numbers out of the air) they might have some from 1967, 73, 77, 84.&nbsp; Or whatever.</p><p><br /></p><p>So - without going over this catalog with a fine tooth comb...all 2400 pages.&nbsp; I&#039;m wondering how I might want to approach this.&nbsp; So I guess I&#039;m just looking for some suggestions here.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I need to decide the criteria for a coin to make it into this &quot;birth year&quot; collection.&nbsp; For example - the countries that had that practice, do they usually have the year on them, or no?&nbsp; If not, maybe I&#039;ll just include the coin that was active during my birth year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thinking out loud here I guess - this could be a massive list, and that&#039;s part of the fun for me.&nbsp; I&#039;m nerdy like that I guess - I like to compile lists and spreadsheets and what not.</p><p><br /></p><p>So thoughts and suggestions, and/or education are appreciated![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
