How far does that book go back. Is it only current year or does it go back to like pre-WWII.

I've noticed some French and German listings dated in the 1700s but the vast majority are 20th century issues.

Some of the places that I have pieces from that are in the catalog include: Cambodia, Hungary, Hutt River Province, Iraq, Kurdistan, Malta, Minerva, Sealand, Tarim, and Yemen.

Lots of pre WWII stuff. What really cracked me up was the section on Middle Earth!

Mine arrived today. Some interesting stuff. Atlantium?

It even lists 23 of those retro fantasy dollars for Canada. There's even listings for the Karl Goetz medallic issues.

This is going to be a fun book to page thru.
