Work over the site began in early 2009. At the same time and had the idea to collect coins (at least – one coin) of all countries. In my list of "all countries" are 303 countries. Why 303? That fact that the scope of my interests represent primarily coin of the XX-XXI centuries, the classification of coin's collection is based on information from Standard Catalog of World Coins Krause. In this directory is information about that during the XX-XXI centuries own coins produced about 300 countries of the world (in my subjective opinion – 303 countries with own coins). Coins from all over the world (at least – one coin from each countries of XX-XXI centuries, information from Catalogues Krause) is the main theme of my collection. Among the 303 countries in 2017 were isolated: 195 modern full independent states (193 states – members of the UN, Vatican and the State of Palestine – UN observer state). Coins Federated States of Micronesia on the list are not described in the catalog Krause, so missing in this table;

State of Palestine – UN observer state). Coins Federated States of Micronesia on the list are not described in the catalog Krause, so missing in this table; unrecognized states (Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria, Somaliland, Taiwan), areas with uncertain status (Western Sahara), Tatarstan and Spitzbergen (Svalbard) as two separate items in the catalog Krause (still not understand why they are included in the catalog, while many other unrecognized countries or territories with their own coins, souvenirs (Cabinda, Galapagos Islands, Darfur...) have been ignored by the drafters of the prestigious numismatic publications);
