Feel free to PM your wagers to me, or considering the scores and number of players, I guess you could simply post it here.

I'll give a quick notice of the posting of the question in about 9 minutes.

I am a bit surprised that this took three hours to play. I just didn't see that coming.

Ok, I have not yet received a wager from Scooby, so his score is reduced to zero. This leaves us with one contestent left, Arthrene. I will post the final question in a few seconds.

The correct response is What is 2?
They were the 5 New Pence and the 10 New Pence. This was because they were in the process of changing over to a decimal denomination currency system. Although the change was not made until Feb. of 1971 most circulation coins produced during this time were dated 1967 to avoid hoarding of the last coins.

That's ok I would've guessed zero anyways.

Since I received no responses towards this question I have to declare the answers as all wrong.
Arthrene has wagered $0.50, bringing his score to $6.47.

Ah crud. I was doing so good. Yeah, I blew it. I posted it after 3 minutes, not 4, so I lose. You will be awarded the prize as if you has answered correctly.

Arthrene wins the game with a final score (and a new record) of $7.47.

He will receive the specimen set along with 2 pennies, 3 nickels, 3 dimes, 2 quarters, 3 half dollars, 1 loonie, and 2 toonies.

Yay! This is a great way to get me going on my Canadian collection again. I've got some albums going but I haven't worked on them in a while.
