I saw this on another site and thought it would be fun and educational to play here as well.

The object of the game is to post a coin from a country that shares a border with the country of the last coin posted.

The Rules.

1. The coin you post must share a border with the last country posted.

2. If the last country has a coastal border you may cross the water as long as it is a straight line on the globe without passing through another country or land mass (e.g. Antarctica).

3. No returning directly back to previous country. Example. If someone plays a coin from Brazil and then a coin from Argentina is played, you may not go right back to Brazil.

4. If we get stuck on a country for 24 hours you may jump one country that borders the current country to play a coin. I hope this rule make sense.

5. After you post a coin you must wait 30 minutes before you can post another coin.


How Many times have you seen a coin and went "Where the heck is that country?" Well this game is a great way to have fun and learn where that little country is.

I will start with a coin from Spain


The next coin must share a border with Spain or be in a direct line across the ocean.

Let's see how far we can go.

Have fun all!!

Note: (added 10/17/2024)
Please only post coins and tokens used as coins for the countries where they were used, not necessarily where they were minted.
