Scroll down to the coin quiz.I tried to load the Quiz link but I already took, and I couldnt reset it without my answers showing.I got 2 wrong.
Thanks for the Link. I got one wrong.
It would be harder when the countries would be more in the same region (where I had to choose between 2 similar countries I got it wrong twice).
But man, that's a very poor job of hiding some of those names 8~
I guess I'm spending too much time on Numista.

Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins
100%. Not too difficult for a seasoned Numista user :-)

The Trinidad coin with the hummingbird looked a lot like the Cayman Islands 1 Cent, but luckily that wasn't one of the four options.
Most of them were ridiculously easy. Especially the ones where they either left the country name on the coin, or didn't fully obstruct the name.

Others were easy because the coin was very obviously from a specific area and there was only one option from that area. Like one was a coin and banknotes with Asian writing and the options were like Australia, Estonia, Gambia or China.
What? Me Worry
100%, not too hard. Some questions already give the answer as well for people that wouldn't know the answer and I agree if some questions would have answers of countries that'd are in the same region of perhaps have the same currency it'd be harder, but fun to do quickly :)

Also the average score has gone up since numista people are doing it perhaps xD? when druzhy posted a pic it was 64% average, now that I did it it's 72% average hehe

Three wrong, must try harder.

But thanks for the link, I enjoyed trying.
3 wrong (Malaysia, Peru, and Jamaica), though I was going pretty quick, less than 5 seconds per question.
HoH
I agree it was very easy.

I mean Polynesia and Australasia are not countries, had they have been - it may have made the last question difficult.

I agree about the hazing out of countries was poor - and some series of answers were so bad like Haiti - you know if the coin is in French, and 3 answers are Spanish speaking countries, it can't be them.

However non coin collectors would struggle and there are many people out there in Kardashian/Sheeran and Hiphop land that are very uneducated and have little general knowledge.

I got 100% and it said the average score was 84% - so perhaps not.

Didn't do any other quizzes, site looked very virally.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

And without google, all from the head. :)
Every single coin on the world should meet its collector!
Would have been able to do this even without the country options given. Though I'll admit I would have had to think about a few of them, for instance.. Georgia vs Armenia and Tajikistan vs Kyrgystan
I must say I was very disappointed. I thought it would be challenging and fun, but instead it felt like it was made for poeple with lesse knowledge of the outside world. In many of the pictures the country's name what clearly written in the coin. In some pictures it was badly blurred out.

Just look at these:

I've never seen this coin before, but hey, I can read though. And six times? Really?


Again, the country's name is clearly written out both on banknotes and coins. And if you can't read it, you probably know Mao Zedong.


Of all the coins they could've chosen, they chose a coin with the word "Delhi" on it.


Again, didn't even try.


Why did they chose to turn a coin around? Because the country's name is written on that side?


Clear as a day. Didn't even try to blurr it out.


I was really usure about this one, and was first thinking about the Caymans. Then I noticed that the answer was written in the picture.


Sure, it's not written in English, but still, are only monoligual English speaking people allowed to play?


Six times the charm!


Again, clearly written out. And not too hard to guess too, right? Even if you only know one language.


Sure, Arabic is a tricky language. But it's not as tricky as blurring a picture. No one can readArabic anyway, so I just have to blurry the English part, right?


Do I even have to mention I got 'em all? Please make a more challenging one!
