My Travels

A great resources for very large and detailed maps of the world go to Geographic Guide. To create the custom travel maps as seen below go to MapChart.net: select "world" then "simple".

So far I have been to the following countries (68). A number after the country is the number of times that I have visited. I try to collect a paper currency from each country I visit; for those that now use the Euro, I try to get their pre-Euro currency. The $ symbol means I have a paper currency from the country ($-n/a means that the country does not have and never had paper currency of their own, especially prior to the Euro):

Countries missing currency: El Salvador (colón), Israel (shekel), Monaco (Monégasque franc), Montenegro (perper), and Panama (balboa). Vatican City and San Marino never had a paper currency, and Andorra never had an official currency before the Euro.

* - used the Deutsch mark then the Yugoslavs dinar prior to the Euro.
† - the official currency was the Liechtenstein krone divided into 100 heller. I have a 50 heller note; there seem to be no krone notes, only heller.
