World Travels Set

coinlieutenant

I have been putting together a collection of coins from each of the countries that I have visited (progress is slow). But I must admit, I am having a blast with it and am expanding my numismatic knowledge along the way.

I know some of you are doing world sets...anyone doing what I am doing, just one example from each country to which you have traveled?

I still need Canada, Japan, Mexico, Jamaica, France, Luxembourg and couple others that I can't recall at the moment...

Share your "world type" sets if you feel like it.

I've got baggies full of loose change from the places I've been

Totally unrelated to coins, but you might like this - Cities I've Visited. It lets you plot out all the places you've been to or are planning to visit. I'm not sure, but I think you might need to have a Facebook account, or at least a TripAdvisor account, to use it.

Here's my (incomplete) map

That's a fun project! I've been considering this for a long time, although I was thinking of putting together uncirculated type sets of the last 2-3-4 series of circulating coins. A quick count reveals that I've been to 38 countries (and semi-autonomous regions that issue their own coins): Sweden (where I live), Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK, Jersey, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Spain, Gibraltar, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, UAE, India, Thailand, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, Botswana, Mocambique, Australia, and New Zealand.

I also have circulated coins from most of these countries in my "coin bowl". Since a couple of years I also save a banknote from each new country I visit.
