Un Coin And Flag Series

Hello, all. I'm actually a coin collector, but I was hoping I could get some help here from some stamp experts.

I'm thinking about starting a type set of one coin from each of the countries in the United Nations. I thought a fun way to choose the coins would be to search for the coins featured on the "Coin and Flag" series of stamps--but it seems that finding a list of those coins is harder than finding the coins themselves will be!

I've found lists from 2006 and 2010, but I'm not having any luck with 2007-2009. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I've only got a couple of minutes here and there, so I'll try to provide you with the list one year at a time. The list format is country followed by coin; excuse any typos.

I am open to correction on this, since I no longer collect modern UN -- but I believe there was no flag/coin issue for 2009. You stated you already had the 2006 and 2010 list.

Enjoy getting the coins together! Please post a pic when you finish!

Thanks a lot. I think they issued the stamps in 2009, but there was no folder that year. Still, you've helped a lot!

You are welcome.

UNPA usually keeps items from the past few years listed online, even if they have been taken off sale. They have nothing listed for the flag/coin series in 2009.

I have an SSM online subscription. I will check the back issues for you later to see if anything was issued in 2009.

Thanks for that. I've started going through the Standard Catalog of World Coins, writing down the exact type of coin featured on each stamp. When that's finished, I'll be ready to go.

I have checked with other sources. They confirm that there was no flag/coin set for 2009. I do not know why.

Thanks! Now I've got 2006, '07, '08, and '10 for a start; I'll have to wait for the next four years of the series to get all 192 countries.

Well, I've finished researching the list for the first four years of the UN Coin and Flag stamp series. There are still 96 countries to go in the series, but I can start working on the type set now. Actually, I found a 2002A German 50 Euro Cents in a Coinstar a few weeks ago, so I guess I've already started.

Thanks for your help.
