Mine is less than when I posted last time, that's because I've just sold off a whole lot of my modern coins. Now my collection is solely silver, iron, zinc, tin and pre-World War 2 coins

I bit the bullet and sold off all my low grade and low value coins apart from a handful of rare coins that I know I will bever be able to afford the higher grade coins. I'm much happier because it gave me cash to buy more coins that I really want. My collection is currently
590 coins from 79 countries (360 of which are silver)

Previous entry May-5th:
June update:
Incredibly busy month was May for me. Some of the coins are still in transit and should arrive in a 2 week period. Africa and South Asia got a boom. America got some countries filled, still need to find some Bolivia, El Salvador, St Pierre et Miquelon, and some Islands to have a complete America Numismap.
Europe got some small countries filled, as well as an increase in types in some like Poland and Portugal which turned light-green. Russia was improved and some ex-CCCP countries got at least a coin to represent them. Really proud of May improvements, and very happy with people who swapped with me so many beautiful coins

Not a monthly update, but I just reached an important milestone. Reached 200 different territories (202 currently):
May 6th
June 6th:
June 24th:
America refuses to get completed. British Virgin Islands, Falkland Islands and Saint Pierre et Miquelon don't want to fill up. But that makes it thrilling. Also, some of the Caribbean countries aren't filled individually, but instead filled as they where during colony, so there are some camouflaged empties there. And the sore thumb Greenland.

Less than a year ago when I subbed I had coins from less than 10 countries, most just one, some pretty rare and valuable ones, but less than 10 countries was my Dashboard back then. 6 months into swapping and now 207 is my number, with coins from regions I didn't know they exist or existed during some time period.

On Dashboard page, select "maximize" then right-clic "save picture". Then you can customize your map with a picture editor like "Paint" by adding missing islands, seas, lakes, territories, correcting anachronistic states boundaries etc...
At the bottom of this Dashborad page, you can view your list of countries. You can copy this list in a text editor or a spreadsheet software to put this list in form and then copy the list in your customized picture.
Keep the PNG format file till the end in order to get the finest resolution then switch to JPG.
At last buy a coin from Lesotho to complete your map

Some beautiful progress in my map.
Last entry:
Today after 1 year in Numista:
Island-mania! Added mostly Island countries / regions:
-Brit V. I.
-Brit Indian O. T.
-Brit Antarctic T.
-French Antarctic T.
-St P&M
-Greenland
-Faeroe
-Sealand
-Spitsbergen
-Galapagos (Manually cuz tokens don't count even thou they are the only thing there).
Currently bidding on coins from Nauru, Zanzibar and Spanish Puerto Rico. So the Island-mania might continue just a bit longer depending on those auctions. Puerto Rico seems improbable all those are for pros, but there isn't any harm on throwing my two cents in the auction and see what happens.
Also aiming to get a Liechtenstein coin to fill that black hole (thou gray actually) in the middle of Europe.
After that, guess what? More Island-mania! As I will focus on the few Pacific countries left to fill; 6 (5 if I get the Nauru coin).
Progress:
JUL: 1731 Ts & 238 Cs
AUG: 2075 Ts & 247 Cs
SEP: 2339 Ts & 250 Cs
OCT: 2714 Ts & 266 Cs + Galapagos

Although I don't haven neither 
I am an evil person, I was cheering for Scotland's independence just to get cheap new coins from there and not pre-UK old ones. The same goes for Puerto Rico, I back up their independence movement
I wonder what would an independent PR cause to some people's PR collection value. They could lose half their collective value overnight as most people seeks them only to fill their empty country spaces, and if a new currency would appear then all that people would instantly go for the cheaper current ones.
I hope to get 3 new territories from a swap I am arranging at the moment, sadly no islands for my Empire there, but they are welcome anyway
Oh wait, Portuguese Timor is an island (at least part of one), isn't it? The Empire will be happy Numista referee for the "Viceroyalty of the New Spain" (most of it).

I proposed a token as a "Mexican revolutionary token" in order to get a new country, unfortunately the referee wasn't cheated and registered it as a standard Mexican token.

I have done some achievements in the last weeks.
First I was able to put in my catalog all the coins I had since many years of travel, quite a long process, I believe from now it is gonna be more fun and relaxed.
Your online collection contains 1379 coins: 627 different types from 100 countries.
If I am able to complete all the swaps before my xmas trip the map is gonna look more colorful.
Cheers!

Today I officially reached 300!!!
3238 different types from 300 countries (+ Galapagos, so it is actually 301, but to make it official I decided no to count them).
I couldn't get Puerto Rico before reaching 300, but might be able soon depending if I close a deal with a US user.

Next conquest for the "Empire of the Isles" will probably be "New Hébrides" and "St Helena" (rest of the emperor)

Quote: FrenchloverNext conquest for the "Empire of the Isles" will probably be "New Hébrides" and "St Helena" (rest of the emperor)I hope and get lucky so I can get those eventually from swapping. Sometimes I go into swaps and find missing countries in their swap lists, many times turns out they aren't available, so I've learned not to get high hopes at the start of swaps
I also need North Mariana and Micronesia, the first has coins but mostly too expensive, and the later has no coins at all, so it is just like Galapagaos, a permanent gray dot unless you manually override it
EDIT: There are Micronesian coins, MFS Coins, all with the listing prefix X#, so maybe they got overlooked and considered them tokens. If I get one, lets say, a cheap 2012 MFS Dime, would it be added to tokens, or to Micronesia?

I tested but never succeeded to turn Micronesia blue
If you select an easter island token from Chile, the isle doesn't get blue.
But your Easter Island is lighted

Quote: FrenchloverOh yeah, I see the only ones now are very expensive, mainly because they are the best variants, I mean, you would be paying for the best example for the coin, I paid for the cheapest oneQuote: erdvillaI don't see anything less tha 100€ on eBay for "Lanna" or "Lan Xang"Quote: FrenchloverWhere di you find the coin from "Royaume de Lan Xang"In Thailand of course.

The one I got has no markings, so I am pretty sure it was homemade back in that time.Search it as Boat Money, as most people doesn't refer to them as Lan Xang but Malay
How about this one:

This is very similar to the one I got:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MALAYSIA-MALAYA-TIN-MONEY-BOAT-OTHER-TYPE-2PCS-RARE-/171554083677?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item27f16b935d
Ugly but got it for $4.5 with no Auction involved, and period forgery or not, it still counts according to catalogs As distinguishing one from another is impossible after half a Millennium.

Quote: FrenchloverI'll study that, some are in Tin, other in Copper, it's interestingMy real goal for 2015 would be to complete 'Murica!
But, till you don't get "French Cochinchina", don't forget this region is part of MY empire
And I say for 2015, because the countries / territories I am still missing are quite expensive / rare to get:
Kingdom of Araucania & Patagonia
BES Islands
Demerara & Essequibo
Martinique
Puerto Rico
South Georgia and the South Sandwich islands
USA Pre-Federal
And St. Helena because it is midway between America and Africa, so it would count for the island empire.
So 5 insular territories, and 2 inland ones, so the empire should keep growing.

Started 3 weeks ago to bring my collection online.
As of today :

It will recieve some more color in the next weeks is I'm only done with 1/3 of the countries I've got. Focussed on those with larger quantities at first.

Quote: 1093i3511Hello,Well, welcome to the "Geography class" in Numista. I'm sure it will be nice to see how your map evolves and starts getting countries filled. My map looked similar to yours when I begun; even emptier, and that wasn't a third of my collection, it was my actual complete collection. Now thanks to Numista users my map has almost superficially filled (missinf just 2 islands to perfectly fill it) but still there are several overlapped territories left to fill.
