A little game.

RULES:

1. The first person names a country.
2. The second person shows (yes, a picture) his/her favorite coin from that country.
3. Then, the second person names a new country, and the cycle starts over again.
ADDED RULE: 4. After 48 hours, if no one posted a coin from the correct country, the original poster of the coin has 24 hours to post a new country. If he/she doesn't, anyone can post their favorite coin from any country and add a new country to get the thread started again.

Example:

Quote: "Person 1"Sweden

Quote: "Person 2"

Australia

Quote: "Person 3"

India

And so on. If you don't have a coin to post, just post a new country.

Okay, so I start:

Ireland

Alright it seems as though I may have picked a difficult country. I will change it to Japan.

This is for the Mauritius because I don't want countries to be skipped.

I just scanned my India coin but dptashny beat me to it. I will scan Poland later unless it has changed again.

Hey, I just thought of a good idea, lets put the country in the native language. So:

Belgium = Belgie or Belgique

Germany = Deutschland or Deutsches Reich or DDR

Egypt = Misr

Hungary = Magyar

And so on.

What do you think?

now if you did it in Zulu then I would have been impressed.
