haha-thanks for that--so i have lost Canadian provinces and gained Newfoundland -now must look for 1 of the other provinces (are they going to seperate the others as well)
Don't worry, Newfoundland is a notable exception as the only actual province to have been a separate dominion. Canadian provinces has to be kept as containing all provincial tokens/coins.
Just to precise, Moesia disappeared but is now part of Roman Provinces.
Frenchlover, you'll need to update a lot of things now

There are still Gaul coinage till now available for €1 (excluding shipping costs) but this may grow a little. My pewter (still unregistered as its Numista page still pending) just cost me €10, including national shipping costs.
Hi would you be able to secure one of these coins (does not matter which one)--also French Guinea-do i have any coins you would want or do Paypal payment??? Murray

Verweis : "chomp-master"Jadejackal,
I think there is a numismatic mentality issue about how to consider municipal trade tokens. French cities is unusual, maybe due to the fact Numista was created as a French website finally extended to the world, but I'm trying to fight (for a long time but seemed useless) to do the same with other countries with similar kind of coinage, like German notgelds, still stuck in the Germany (1871-1948) "country" instead of German states or any similar new "country" ("German notgelds" or anything similar). I know a similar issue concerns United Kingdom. This shows that Europeans consider such tokens as coins but North Americans (and maybe other nations influenced by them) don't, either US or Canadian municipal dollars.
If you're speaking about your California quarter dollar I agree to say it seems arbitrary and someone should revert this unjustified declassification. Try to ask for why had the coin moved to this "trash section" named Tokens.
Chomp,
I hadn't thought about that before, but I suspect you are correct regarding the American prejudice against tokens, even if they were used in circulation, and the European opinion that they are a type of coin. I wonder why that is? Even in the United States we have a lot of emergency coinage from different time periods, Civil War tokens, Hard Times Tokens and Good-For tokens. There is even a small history of United States Municipal Trade Currency. Maybe it is European history and the centuries of nebulous types of issuing authorities that makes Europeans more comfortable with these types of coins.
The California quarter dollar was moved because of some confusion of terms on the referees part. I thought Pre-Federal meant an area before it joined the Federation, the referee is using it to mean Colonial United States. He won't budge and doesn't like it because it is a "token."
No, I am perfectly happy with including California Gold as coins but not in United States - Pre-Federal. How to deal with them in United States is no longer my job.

Breaking news!
Abkhazia is back
You'll have to adjust coins from the first country .......
And the new archduchy in now named "Austria - Habsburg"
Soon South Ossetia, with a bunch of animal coins ?
This is a little my fault Abkhazia is back. But such coins from South Ossetia and their Abkhazian equivalent are pure tokens. There is no Abkhazian Rouble, only the Apsar which is pegged to the Russian Rouble.
Austria - Habsburg? Better this way.

Ok, after losing a lot of sleep to MGSV and 100% it I am back and found some surprises on the Dashboard; finally the "ghost" states (Micronesia and the Republic of C.A.) have been removed from it. But I also found several newcomers. So my mini dash is back to a healthy 3x4:

Took one out of that mini dash. I knew I had seen a New Brunswick coin in my local exchange shop, so I went (it is just half a block away) and it was still there, I always considered an old Canadian coin and wasn't willing to pay the 4$ for it, but now I was more compelled to do so

It may be difficult to find enough countries with out including Non circulating coins.
As far as I am aware- i only have 4 i need to replace
Belarus
Brit virgin islands
Niue
Tokelae
so that should not be hard-- thank god i do not have any of the US pacific to replace
Palau- nth marianna -Guam Marshall islands and Am Samoa-- i have steered well clear of this rubbish
Have another 2 countries in my sights, so should not take long-- had a Qatar and Dubai located and selected , but the numista trader increased the price from $7 to $18.00 after i selected it ( Krause value $7 km4)- did not consider this proper conduct, so i left it
Abkhazia is back into tge forbidden token realm. Hope none of you went psycho and got any of those by an involuntary reflex XD
That is why I prefer leaving new commers out of my aims because that might happen; that includes the one I personally added "Venezuelan provinces". I am sure it will remain untouched... but who knows; maybe Maduro would force it back to main Venezuela. And with the less expensive ones being around $70 I'll wait for the quarentine to pass and be sure it will stick.

Yes, Cenrral Asia has been present for over half a year; the only issue with it as with most territories (not countries) is determining what belongs to them, so you might add a coin and it will sudenly end in another territory. I had 5 that I got in a lucky unknow coins bundle and a few of them migrated but as for now some of them have remaind there.

Cataluña has a great chance of becoming a Republic (that would defacto leave the EU and need a new currency). The Parliment is a dominant independentist majority; and if a vote was casted the region is widely in favor of leaving. The difference from Scotland is tgat Madrid might actually force them to stay using the military.
So the region is surely to declare independence soon, but Madrid won't accept that. Lets see how the EU plays in that scenario.

Cataluña has passed some drill referendums and all have been in favor of leaving; to this Madrid has always said they are "just a charade and no referendum would be officially accepted as it would first need to be approved to take place by Parliament".
They have their own language, their own culture, so it would only be logical for them to want secession. But the economic impact on Spain and themselves would be too great.
Besides, small countries in Europe are common, and Cataluña would be quite large compared to the closest small neighbor Andorra.
I wonder if Russia would annex them

When was the last time you checked? Because I am still at the same 392 with 9 missing; and there are no changes in the missing ones since Moravia was added.
So the only reason would be one or more of your coins moved to the tokens section, or some coins from one country were moved to another existing one while still leaving coins on the country they were moved from, thus leaving me with 392/9 but you with -1.
Those types of moves are the worst because admins don't notice the community when doing so, so it is up to the detective user commission to try finding out the trail.

Look at your missing countries, and try spotting the one you had before and now you don't. I think a recent coin that was added to Grenanda was moved to the tokens section because those new "coins" for the Caribbean are fantasy tokens; still leaving only the 4 Dollar coins as the only way to get most of those.

Hey Spookie it looks like you had a very good time at coin fair. Great job.
Hey one question. the catalog lists Great Britain and the UK. But if you hit Great Britain you go to the UK. So if you have a coin from the UK does it count as two countries. Great Britain and UK
No, the Great Britain one is just a link to the UK page because those are the two names that people search on when looking for British coins, they're not separate countries. However, England does count as a separate country because they have coins that were issued before the UK amalgamation.
Thank you Neil, that makes a lot of scents . I just saw that this week. And I just thought why. But the UK is also known as Great Britain. In fact England is the newest country I got. Two great looking silver penny's.
I didn't go to a money fair, but I was getting closer too: 255 countries or 85% completed. And no token registered in the token section, only circulating tokens till now.

I have added 57 countries since I returned home for the winter on 10/7/15.
This count will be increasing within the next few weeks since I have 9 more countries that have been shipped but not received. I also have outstanding bids on a few more.

I have a notebook on my desk in where I used to write the coin(s) I bought and from where they were sent. Because sometimes I totally forgot about some shipments; and when I got a "mystery" envelope I couldn't remember what I bought.

I am also trying to reach this peak! So some ideas as questions about new country positions:
- EU (Europe Union) as itself; I got the form for 1 euro coin, just form. So, practically- token from EU.
- Virtual Currency; bought in e-bay physical Bitcoin. Not a state itself, but as separate position probably fits. Let's be up-to-day, guys! ;)
- Bouvet Island (part of Norway). I have a probe coin mentioned as from Bouvet Island- no name about Norway.
- Micronesia (Federated states of Micronesia); possible to buy coins-tokens with fishes and animals mentioned as from Micronesia.
Just an offer to help to somebody reach 300 sooner...
