Quote: "estes53"What started this whole thing is that I noticed that a couple of islands, east of the Philippines didn't have tags on the map and I was trying to figure out what they were.
I think the second one is possibly Guam.
The second one is probably Northern Mariana Islands, but I'm not entirely sure either.
This is the big issue with searching by country through entering country names in the main search bar - basically, it includes every "country" in the database, even if there aren't actually any coins listed for it (which excludes it from the other country lists).
Which is to say, aside from real countries, it includes organizational "countries" (such as Germany and Micronations; most of those have names that are identical to some real country, which is why some of them show up twice when searched for), any country with unapproved requested coins that hadn't been deleted yet (not sure which ones there are right now, but it's usually some Indian tribe), and perhaps some other leftovers.
Pretty sure Micronesia is not listed though (which is how I found Micronations).
For a while this used to also come up in the country choice bar in advanced search, leading to problems if you wanted to search coins from one of the countries that were listed twice. It had apparently since been fixed, however.
