Numista's dashboard map influence in collecting

I acquired last week a Greenland coin, see the picture, it was quite expensive. I wanted to get one of the 1926 series but they were more expensive! I have crossed my monthly budget and will not buy coins for a couple of months now But I just couldn't bear anymore the white large island on my dashboard! If it wasn't for Numista's map I wouldn't have bought a Greenland coin! Now I have coins from 224 "countries" :)

Now I have only some small white spots as Nauru, Palau, Micronesia, Comoros, British Virgin Islands etc. but at least those are hard even to spot on the map!
I would be curious how Numista's map influences you on collecting, so share your thoughts!

Here is my original coin:

Firstly nice coin ! I was trying to get one from everywhere but now I only focus on the empire I'm
Trying to get rid of the coins I have from other countries but for the ones which have sentimental value (from my grandad) just to see exactly how broad it was the map is a great feature IMO however the small islands likes of Niue, Nauru etc should be a bit easier too see as I have great eyesite and I struggle to see them so I hate to think how older members or members with partial site struggle on !

That is hilarious, I felt the same way for a long time and learned to ignore it, however if I acquired a coin from Greenland, I wold be very happy.

The dashboard's very useful for anyone trying to collect a coin from each country. You can easily see which regions you have very few coins from and which are the most common countries in your collection.

 Reading older Topics (and seeing Dashboard space) I noticed that both Greenland and Danzig were hard to get, so though I do not collect by countries, I keep watching for them and separately got one of each ...

 So yes, the Dashboard influenced my getting them, though I was in no rush.  
And for me too 'If it wasn't for Numista's map I wouldn't have bought a Greenland coin!'.

Ummm... absolutely! At least it gave me a direction to start collecting something. I've always kept foreign coins that I'd found in small change etc. This is basically how I started collecting.  

As we all know when you log in on Numista, it brings up your dashboard. It's fairly hard not to ignore that. I need to fill some of the African countries to complete my map. Then I'll try and go for the lot lol. I also want to acquire the entire Palestine series. I have all their denominations but I want to collect all dates too. Could be a long wait...
