I'll stop using tokens as "countries" when, and only when, I have a 10th spot that won't be cluttered with at least 3-4 countries if I do so. As it stands, without Canadian tokens I'd have 3 countries tying for the 10th spot, and I just hate that kind of nonsense.

Citação: erdvillaTo you guys, which is the easiest Country/Territory to have a complete coin type set? I mean, a country maybe with few coin types and all currency and common ones, or a country with a little more coin types but cheap and easy to find.I honestly think Canada is one... there is a fair bit of silver in the common circulation pre-1968, but some of it is relatively cheap (especially the dimes), and the only gold coin that was ever circulated was the sovereign. It's only been a country since 1867, so it isn't going to have a ridiculously long history like China, Greece, or England (to name but a few examples). The common currency is easy enough to find, and most of the special coins have been put out into circulation (although starting maybe 4-5 years ago we joined the craze for "collectibles", but those aren't circulated). I find Canada fun, also, not just because it's my own country, but because there ARE so many sets to be collected that went into circulation. Right now I'm trying to complete my circulated Olympic coin set and I've made a lot of progress so far.
I ask this because there are some countries that for an amateur, and even a professional collector are impossible to complete even by types only, example of this Mexico, as it has over 1000 types to date, one third are gold coins or bi-metal coins with gold in them, so that is quite expensive (up to 1kg gold "coins"). Then, the remaining 2/3rds nearly 5/9ths are pure or partially silver, many of them not so expensive, but a lot of colonial and proof expensive ones. And that leaves only a 1/9th of common cheap currency to be collected.
The thing of it is, too, that you're not going to find a country that didn't use silver at some point, and even countries that are not rich now used silver back in at least the 1930s or before.
It also occurs to me that perhaps you can make your own thread to ask everyone this question, because technically this is very off-topic.

Just won several auctions I was bidding on. Will update my top ten once the items arrive. Still, I lost 5 others, but seems someone was trying to complete a series and the bidding got too high, WAY above direct buy prices, or there was some dirty playing there with some bidder working for the seller, because otherwise I would have gotten all the items at 50% retail value

Citação: nosouvenirsNew top 10, after getting a swap and an eBay order...Small changes, either from swaps or, in the case of the UK/USSR, being given coins that my grandmother had saved in a lovely little coin purse from Scotland.

Citação: CeruleanNosouvenirs, I am amused that you have more coins from USSR, Cuba and North Korea each than you do from the USA.Ha... I've actually traded some of my American stuff away. I don't tend to like American coins o.o. The USSR coins were mostly a gift, and I already had a bunch of Cuban coins right at the beginning of this, but I did deliberately buy the NK coins because they were pictures of animals and transportation and they were just beautiful. Also, as written above, I seem to be fascinated by communist countries.

Citação: neilithicAustria has to be the hardest to complete, the last coin in the catalogue is KM# 3225, My earliest Austrian coin is a 1765 1 Kreutzer, and it still has KM#1993. Or if you want to include ancient coins, how many different Ancient Roman coins are there, and how much are you going to pay for the rare ones?1) Austria (proper, not the bishops and "states") is around 4,700 types - from 1270 to today
2) Ancient Rome 32,500 types documented by David Sear - including provincial Emperor issues
3) Hungary is around 5,100 types - 997 to today

To be fairly honest, I enjoyed having just 300 coins instead of having 6000! I collect coins by date/type and that way you easily get over 6000. I'm even thinking about selling all dublicates and just stay at collecting types... But that's just me. I know a few collectors who even reach the 10,000 border (!) and still love to add up!Citação: ALLRED1950mrfane i collect by year and mint so its total number for coins. i should look at total types i have.
