Test your coin knowledge!

Citeer: IdolenzThe biggest challenge is to know how to write the country names in English  

Citeer: HouseofhamI must say, though, 20 minutes is really inadequate for 161 coins. That's less than 7.5 seconds per coin. Even if you knew all the answers, you also need to be able to type fast and have perfect spelling.

Lol, I didn't even realize it was timed until I was half way thru.

7.5 seconds should be ample time on average.  How long does it take to type names like tonga, peru, china, usa, etc?  a second or two a most.  The timer is good because if you know it's south America you can't just sit there typing all the countries until you find the right one.

Citeer: HouseofhamYou got thru the same 120 and were able to identify 30 less than I, while having typed less. Maybe I'm getting old, but it takes me a while to spell out the likes of myanmar, afghanistan, kyrgyzstan, sao tome and principe, papua new guinea, czech republic, switzherland, etc.

I was also unaware it was timed at first and I was doing it in between registering documents at work.  as for identifying 30 less....I said that I don't collect anything post 1945 so many of the modern countries I didn't recognize and had to go by coats of arms ot national symbols.

​[Spoiler alert!]
​The unbeatable trio was:
​▪ ​Guyana - I really had it on the tip of my toungue but couldn't force it out.
​▪ Saint Kitts and Nevis - which I should've noticed on the map, but I really couldn't place it.
​▪ Trinidad and Tobago - the CoA was familiar, but I was really lost here.
