What is your favourite country to collect ?

Mine has to be India, there are so many varieties of coins for presidencies, princely states & regal issues its so enjoyable ! And that's just the British India stuff I collect there's also great Mughal stuff and then when I see Portuguese and other colonial India coins I want those, especially the Danish issues. India really is mind blowing !

I want to collect coins from the Philippines where I was born and Italy where I am living.

China, don't know why.

FIJI !!!!!

I have to agree with you, India has just so much variety of what you can collect. I love the old stuff from British and Portuguese (and Danish and French and States, etc). But I also like all the current India Republic commemoratives that they have. Another country I enjoy collecting from is Thailand. The older Thai stuff is really interesting to look at and there are a ton of modern comm. Like most collectors I also like collecting coins from my own country, Canada. I can't decide which one is my favourite.

I like coins from places I'd love to travel to.

All across Europe, Australia, China, Ireland, New Zealand, several tropical islands.

Yeah I caught the EIC/Raj bug too.

Plus Sarawak, White Rajahs.

I love Swiss coins!  They still use the 1879 designs.designs, and I respect continuity.

Germany! I even like third reich coins, I don't know why (see my collection!).

Spain Even franco's coins.

Cayman Islands (though I've never been)

Haha, I wonder why they engraved the actual date in those tiny stars. They get worn away so fast!
