Hi. I'm a beginner collector and my dream is to collect all coins from all the countries around the world in circulation at the moment (for example - Romanian coins now in circulation are: 1, 5, 10, 50).
So I want to make an coin album categorized by continent and country and I need any idea to create it.
Also I'm open to swap coins.
Hi Nickolas,
The best way to get a catalog of all coins from all countries is to use the catalogue here. The organizers of this site have done a tremendous job of catagorizing the coins of each country. Just use this database as a guideline, cross-reference it with a map or atlas, and you're on your way.
You'll also find this site helpful in locating people world wide who are willing to swap coins with you.
Enjoy and good luck on your quest.
To easily see which coins (denominations) that are in circulation in each country, to can check the Wikipedia page for that specific currency. Then you will see most used and rarely used coins/banknotes as well.
Good luck with your collection, and welcome to Numista!
We all have a different way of arranging our collections. It's really a very personal thing. With that said, and as others have said above, I think the 2x2 flips and clear pocket pages are a great option. I love being able to take the coins out and handle them without compromising them.
If you're interested in swapping I suggest going to the Swaps and Trades forum and posting there. A few tips for swaps: check the rating on the potential swap partners, start small, and know ahead of time if there are any restrictions with your local post that you'll have to get around.
Good luck and have fun! I hope you'll give us updates from time to time.

I would like to do the same and collect all the world circulation of coins in denomination order does anyone have a list of how many coins that would actually be
There are currently 7100+ still monetised circulation coin types (catalog pages) according to the data on Numista (there will obviously be countless issues that don't circulate anymore or that are already demonetised but are not documented correctly on Numista).

I collect standard circulating coins, and few commemorative/non-circulating issues* by type (excluding ridge/orientation varieties) from 1848 to today. (Exluding gold). From my estimation the number of coins is around 20-25 thousand.
*I collect:
Standard circulating coins
Commemoratives/non-circulating issued for at least 2 years, and made of base metal or non-pure silver. Examples: N#845N#32269
Commemoratives/non-circulating that make up or complete a full series of denominations that are in circulation at that time Examples: N#56036 / https://en.numista.com/catalogue/set.php?id=1317 / sterling silver proof sets etc
FAO coins
The lower estimation (20 000) is for standard circulating coins, the upper is for all types.

Is there a way to export a numista search result as an Excel file or table without images? I'm looking for a checklist of coin issuing countries and territories since 1900 or so.
I've been searching this forum but haven't had any luck finding an answer.

A catalog search cannot be exported to an Excel file spreadsheet. You can do a copy and past and turn something like this
