Sometime in the next week or so, I will add my 10,000th unique coin to my collection. I thought this would be a good chance to run a competition.
All you have to do is guess the country that this 10,000th coin will be from.
I would ask that you also guess a denomination and a year, in case 2 people
guess the correct country.

If no one guesses the correct country, then the closest one wins. (I will take the measurement from capital city to capital city).
You may have 3 guesses each per day, until the competition closes.
I will keep a running list in this post, of all coins as they are chosen to help prevent duplication.
The winner will receive a bag of world coins.
If you don't collect world coins, then enter anyway as you can nominate someone else to receive the coins.
Start guessing...

Collecting coins is not about having the best, but loving what you have ...

Would it help to go through your 10k images and look for missing coins?

I like this guy's mullet and the year is a good one.

Yes, that would help you. :)

Do you collect types? For instance I can see a 1958 Franklin Half Dollar. Does that mean you are unlikely to add a 1953 version of the same coin?
