So strange: in my own collection, if I want to check my USSR coins, and for the issuer I type U, it gives the USSR. But for US, it doesn't appear (while it appears in "Search coins" in the general menu!).
It's beacuase the country is calles United States of America. USSR is written out, and therefore you'll get a hit. If it said United States of America (USA), you would get a hit.

Pfff... you haven't learnt European history. USSR was the Soviet Union.
If you type Burma you get Myanmar, if you type Deutschland you get Germany it's the alternative name search.
Maybe a notification could pop up to clarify that or but I don't know if that is possible the alternative name you searched appears in brackets somewhere?
Typing USSR or CCCP now match with the Soviet Union.
This feature to match with alternative or local names works only on some pages, including the search page. It doesn't exist for "My coins" or swap lists yet. That's why "US" doesn't match with United States when looking at your collection.

For ngdawa:
I don't see at all what you are saying.
Do you mean that I should type Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics, instead of its abbreviation? You said that USSR gives a hit, but my problem was it didn't.
For me, it looked like you are saying that I should type United States of America INSTEAD of USSR.
For Xavier: Thank you!
