how many different countries do you have?

I own coins and paper from about 65 different countries. A lot of them I got when my brother lived in Asia and my sister lived in Europe. Most of them I personally know the person that went to that particular country!

160 or so. This is counting places like Czeckoslovakia that have gone thru several name changes.

I have coins from 437 places around the world. This isn't just countries but also states, provinces and cities as well.

About 10 countries, but mostly US and Canadian, and some British. I have one from almost every Canadian province, though.

6, but I only actively collect 2 of those.

194 without breaking down city states, provinces, or republics. Slightly over 200 if I count incoming coins not received.
Actively collecting France, French Colonies, and Great Britain within the several coins per country format.

Just over 300 counting States, Provences, and cities.

One country, one denomination.

600 different issuers for Countries, States, Kingdoms, Provinces, Princely States, Protectorates, Colonies, Free Cities, Territories, Leprosariums, and a few fantasy "Countries". I also have about 100 monetary reform issues for those 600 that I don't count.

What do you have in Leprosariums-haven't seen one, always wanted to. The pics I've seen show utilitarian coins without much attempt at beauty (understandable I guess) but they are fascinating, given their origins.

I have Lazareto Series(3 locations in Colombia), Maracaibo (Venezuela), Isla De Providencia (Venezuela), and Culion (Philippines).

I'd like to add Palo Seco, Cabo Blanco, and a Japanese Leprosarium issue to my collection...any spares?

I also have a few leprosarium pieces from Colombia, Maracaibo and Isla De Providencia. Got any Culion extras?
Dave (Laz) on Error World has, so he says, the top collection of its kind in the world of these pieces.

Where is that list of countries that was made up a while back? Thought I had a copy but...

89 countries, all dating between 1789-1815.

That had been bothering me all day so I had to go count...

I sell a box of 178 coins from 178 countries for $80. Anyone interested can PM me for details

About 300 if you only count by country and not the changing types of government or name changes.

how many different countries do you have?
