Seven envelopes today in mail
New countries:
Judea - 1 Lepton /Got four of these, because that is how the sale was; so expect three to go up for swap this afternoon.
(British) North Borneo - 2.5 Cents /For the Island Empire
French India - 1 Doudou /I love this one, because it has the Rooster on it... if only they also had the fleur-de-lis.
American Samoa - 1 Dollar /Another island for the cause!
And now the HEAVY WEIGHTS (after assaulting a museum ):
Livonia & Estonia:
Moldavia & Wallachia:
And last but not least, another Island for the Erdvilla insular empire:
German New Guinea - 5 Marks NGC Certified XF; the same seller had a MS60, but... lets say it was either this XF and many of the other coins, or the MS60 alone 
Quite the awesome haul.

This is why a main thread should be for Admins to notice the site about new and disappearing countries, as well as single coins being moved from one to another. As it is pretty hard to spot those after they have been moved without prior notice.

Three small envelopes today; one of which didn't contained coins but something very similar to coins (I bought three strips of LR1130 button batteries ). But the other two had a coin each, and my newest countries:
BOHEMIA - 3 Kreuzer
TONKIN - 1/600 Piastre /Can someone explain me why Tonkin only has a single coin, and also such strange denomination?

Someone has €1,650 to spare, you can be the one and only to have "Iles de France et Bonaparte" in Numista. You would save over One Thousand Euro over the only other one €2,865 .
I am just trolling myself. This is the only country I've been looking for a replica, but not even one has been seen in eBay. I'll have to wait, but no rush, not willing to pay much for a replica either. I'll just draw one in a piece of gray card.

Today I visited the store with the largest world coin bucket in Western Canada, which weighs many tons. Apparently the Cities of Edmonton and Calgary sold them all of their rejected foreign coins out of parking meters, which had been accumulated over many years. They turned a profit by picking out all the U.S. dollars, pounds, and euros, and the rest are now in a huge metal trough for 20 cents each. After spending some hours getting my hands absolutely filthy I found three new countries! These are the first new countries found in a mixed bin for a long time for me. The thrill of the hunt
China (Japanese puppet states), 10 fen, 1940 - specifically the Reformed Government of the Republic of China. Not bad for 20 cents.
Djibouti, 50 francs, 1999. Very worn-down.
Gabon, 100 francs, 1977. Seriously, what's up with all these stupid Central African States coins where the only difference is the legend, and why were they only made in the 1970s and 1980s?? Compare it to my only Chadian coin:
Totally stupid.
EDIT: I forgot one other "country"!!
"French cities", Marseilles, 5 centimes, 1916.
Now, in my opinion, why does "French cities" get to be its own listing while German notgeld is annoyingly lumped in with all the real German coins? And why are crappy modern tokens listed as actual coins under "French cities"?!?! But... thank you Francocentrism for one more "country" in my collection.

Citação: nalaberongToday I visited the store with the largest world coin bucket in Western Canada...Such nice find and in such cheap place. Wish there was more global transit where I live, so that people used same-size cheaper coins on the machines
The only usual foreign finds I have in currency are US Cents in 20 Centavos bunches, as they have a relative similar size, and the color doesn't strike out right away if they are hidden in a bunch.
Today is mail day, so I hope to post something new in an hour or two.

Today I finally received the last envelopes with part of my set for:
-Tannu Tuva
-Russian Caucasia
Got these sent on separate envelopes for each coin, just to be safe, and today the last 3 envelopes arrived.
Afternoon edit:
Mail came by again (sometimes they get so much mail that the deliver departs once his bag is full and leaves a lot behind) I got 4 envelopes, but just 1 new country:
New Hebrides - 5 Francs
Oh, and in one of the swap envelopes I remember I also got all my coins for
Yemen (all except the 500 one)
I had forgotten that the day most where moved to the YAR or YPDR and I realized that I had lost all my Yemen coins I was about to close a swap and the user was kind enough to include them as extra.

Citação: erdvillaIn many sorces it described as so-called "state -city". It was founded by Yemen citizens, and in the 17-19 century it was a strong Moslem enclave in the Christian Ethiopia. It had its own ruler, own coinage and some other stuff which may be a proof its souverenity from other Ethiopia. Harar was a city like Mecca and medina. visit Harar was the one of aims of orthodox Moslem. in the small city, which has a territory of 1/100 of Paris, there were more than 100 mosques.Citação: Dato MikeladzeFinally I got my 2 Harar coins,Was it ever a State City?

I found too short information about Harar ( most of it on French language), but its enough to realize that Harar had its own political and governal structures.

Finally - Guinea!!
All of the Guineas are difficult to find coins from. Papua New Guinea and Guyana are uncommon yet findable, while the three African Guineas are just a chore. Two of them are tiny - Equatorial Guinea, besides having the highest economic inequality in the world, has a miserably small population of 1,622,000, and Guinea-Bissau is another basket case with only 1,704,000 inhabitants. Guinea proper, though... Guinea has a population above 10,000,000, so you'd think its coins wouldn't be that hard to find... except inflation has made Guineans accustomed to using banknotes and no coins. Aargh!

Today I got my first coin for:
Envelope #1:
Hungarian States(both for Transsylvania) :
1 Denar 1621KB
1 Garas 1612NB
Ragusa
1 Grosetto 1657
This envelope took 6 months to arrive because it got wrongfully dispatched to Brazil, and it transited there some time and then it didn't moved anymore, so I had almost gave up on it, my highest hope was for it to be sent back to sender so that he could re-send it. But last month it finally re-appeared on the system and a week later was dispatched to Mexico
Envelope #2
This story is important because since I had almost given up on it, I went to eBay and saw an auction for 8 Ragusa and Hungarian States mixed coins. So I bid $30 thinking I wouldn't win, but I did and the irony is that this envelope arrived today as well.
Envelope #3

2 Cash 1730-1746

Citação: erdvillaThese "currencies" are more like using trade tokens or similar coinage with a different name, like some local currencies used in some areas joint with the real currency. This is not with coins but take the example, in French Pays Basque (Basque country), of the Eusko banknotes. OK, they're used at par with the euro, but anyway it's quite similar, as these "currencies" have no ISO codes unlike official modern currencies.Citação: chomp-masterThere are several micronations with legit and usable currency.

Citação: erdvillaGot my coin for the South African Boer Republics - 1 Shilling today on the mail.Nice that I made you get one after lobbying to get the Boer Republics added to the country list
It's a very nice historic coin depicting president Paul Kruger, a typical devout protestant Boer who worked hard to develop the South African Republic into a modern nation. They were just sitting on so much gold and diamonds that the British would not let them, and potential German allies, get away with it. The British treatment of Boer families during the Second Boer War however was atrocious. Many children died of famine, with many heartbreaking stories of desperate children asking for food.
