Thanks for the info. Should we include Hong Kong and Macau in these? These are not independent countries now but I guess do issue their own currencies.

Hong Kong see line 8; Macau see line 10 at bottom of page

The list of sixty territories and dependencies covers most of the rest of the "countries" you'll find in Krause. Not all of those territories have issued their own coins.

On top of this, you've got regional coinage, unofficial and semi-recognised states that nevertheless issue their own coinage (like Somaliland and Transnistira), coinage produced by various factions in revolutions and civil wars, not to mention all the "extinct" coin-issuing countries like Biafra, Katanga, Saarland... the list can be as sharply or as blurrily defined as you wish.

Me, I like it blurry. I've got 607 "countries" in my OFEC list.

I've got 607 "countries" in my OFEC list.

So, I no longer feel good about my 400+...

Blurry is better!

I've never counted the potential number of "1 per monetary regime" collecting, which starts with each country, and then adds the different monetary reforms and "redos".

20th Century examples include d/s/£ and decimal currencies from Great Britain and other Commonwealth countries, along with Mexico's pre- and post-1982 coinage, and numerous other examples.
