How do I get money back for my foreign coins?
If you won't be flying on a participating airline anytime soon, you can also send your coins direct to UNICEF Change for Good at the address on their website.

Does the term "middle east" cover a certain set of countries? Could I be misunderstood when using it?
@littleadv The one place I have seen it classifed as Southern Asia is by the United Nations, in its Asia subregions map. I don't particularly agree, but there a lot of things I don't agree with the UN about :) . It also refers to the rest of the Middle East as West Asia, which of course excludes Egypt and any other part of Africa, whereas I personally consider Egypt part of the Middle East too due to its history with Israel.

Agree that "Iran and Israel both are definitely Middle-Eastern" countries, geographically. I've heard of Iran being called part of Southern Asia (lumped in with India and nearby countries), but due to its frequent conflicts with Iraq, I believe most people in the U.S. would consider it to be part of the Middle East.

Can I take an AVR development board on a plane?
I've always wondered about carrying innocent items made of glass, like a mirror -- it seems if you could break them just so you could create a nice stabbing tool.

Why do mileposts on US Interstates increase South to North instead of North to South?
The question was about the Interstate system. I started out my answer with "I'm assuming...", therefore I'm speculating same as you are.

@littleadv, I'm not confusing the two, I'm saying that both were consistently numbered in the same direction (south to north, and west to east).

@Karlson, the article you referenced says: The two-digit U.S. Routes follow a simple grid, in which odd-numbered routes run generally north to south and even-numbered routes run generally east to west. Three-digit numbers are assigned to spurs of two-digit routes. Not all spurs travel in the same direction as their "parents". My answer was about the major US Highways routes -- the two-digit ones, which do follow the Interstate numbering plan as far as odd/even. I didn't get into the three-dogot spurs for either system.
