I have this collection I'm building of one coin (prefer a copper) and one banknote from every country in the world. Right now there are something like 183 countries but my count is much higher because I count countries that have changed names and such as multiples. So here's the status as of tonight.

I have 312 Countries listed

I have coins from 125 of these

I have banknotes from 58 of them.

I have been updating the country list from the Krause World Coins book. I'm up to the letter E. The other countries come from the UN list of countries or countries that I have coins/notes.

Let us know what we you need, i can get you all the Portuguese colonies. What's you start date? 1901? There aren't any Madeira's bronze coins from the 20th century, but everything else is easy enough.

No condition requirements. It's just a put this thing together and see how many you can get thing. Originally I had wanted to use it to make a few Exhibition cases with unusual countries/coins/notes for things like Coin Week or display at the coin club or library. Not sure anymore.

What do you mean "Country"?
For example there are two States of Latvia: 1918-1940 & 1990-> Do you count it as one country, two or (there is a reason to count) three?
Do you count as country such territories as Transdniestr or Saarland?

If they issued coins/currency as a distinct entity then I count them as such. It's an evolutionary process so I don't have exact definitions on everything that can possibly come up. I believe that Saarland issued coins. Transdniestr is something I'm not familiar with. All help about this kind of thing is appreciated. Thanks for the inputs. I'll grab my Krause and such and do a little research on the three you mentioned.

Thanks. I already have those countries covered. Don't have the sex token covered, but don't need it. I bought a lot of tokens at a club auction last year and there were probably 20 of those in the group. A virtual Kama Sutra of tokens.

Well, Ruanda-Urundi was a League of Nations (and later United Nations) mandate under Belgian administration. And since there are a few coins with "Belgisch Congo Belge - Ruanda Urundi" on them, why not include the territory?

Art, what would be the difference between "Bayern" and "Bavaria"?

Some of each. I was just picking up on an old discussion of what countries were on the list. These are all countries/whatever that have issued coins under their name. They all appear in the Krause 2000 Edition of World Coins.

I'm sure that some folks will disagree with some of these, but I honestly haven't had the chance to research each item and see where I think it belongs. So your inputs are a big help. Less research that I'll have to do someday.

Actually Bavaria is not only English but also Latin. So there will be (older) coins where you can indeed see the "English" name of the country. Dutch may be a little harder to find on such pieces.

Hi

I have similar "obsession" as Art does have

I collect one coin per country (territory) but I narrow it down to "base currency unit" i.e. 1 dollar, 1 shilling, 1 rouble... I do not collect banknotes, but in case the 1,- coin doesn't exist I take banknote as well.

This is the list I have collected so far:
http://missingthumb.atspace.com/mince.htm

The red cross in front of the currency name means the country is already represented in my collection. Asterisk means 1 Euro for a particular euroland country.

As a country (or territory) I take only currently recognized entities, not the historical countries (although I do not throw them, of course). As a plus, I have coins for not yet recognized entities, like Seborga, Cabinda, Damanhur etc.

When a country denominates its currency (like e.g. Turkey did in 2005) I try to get the new coins as soon as possible and replace the old ones.

So if you have anything what I'm missing in my list, don't hesitate to let me know

Hi Absik,
I would have a difficulty removing something from my collection if a new coin comes out, which happens all the time. I'd suggest that you consider including in your collection base currency units from a certain period (e.g., from the year of your birth, or from 1900). Thus your collection will grow, in stead of being replaced all the time.

As for your list, I have a Zimbabwe Dollar on my website, if you still need it.
Also Equatorial African States Franc 1971, if this is the type you are looking for.
Being a CoinPeople member, you may disregard a minimum order rule of my site.
