This was a fun and interesting contest! I enjoyed researching everything and trying to put all the pieces together. I realize now that some of the coins didn't have complete matches! That US Statue of Liberty half drove me mad trying to find to reverse to it that wasn't even there  Very well put together  Edited by Stutzman108

I went crazy trying to figure out where the silver $10 US coin came from....never did find it on the net. Piece #1 drove me nuts. I figured that would be easy to spot and I never found that on any coins I was checking out.  And piece #16....what can I say? I thought I was looking a a dinosaur's jaw with an egg in it -- not lion paws! |

I have posted all coins today. Except for tzarmarko's (still need your address). Jdavis, I hope you don't mind I included Canadian WW2 poppy quarter in tzarmarko's package. You mentioned " If you have only one coin ...", and he was the only one with one coin. And he requested it. Do you guys think this was too tough, with 5 cards/coin and small pieces instead of the whole side? And some bogus cards? There was a remarkable drop in participation this round. Any feedback is welcome. Thank you again for humoring me and playing the game. Like last time, if I accidently (  ) put another coin in your envelope no need to complain about it. |

svslav, I think the contest was brilliant! You have a great imagination. I actually think the game is marketable with different applications.
I think you would have to ask the people who didn't participate this time if they thought it was too hard -- or too time consuming. I spent a lot of time searching the net and maybe they didn't have the time. If they are students, it could be that finals are taking up all their time.
But I had tons of fun searching and searching -- hoping to find something that matched. So thanks again!

Thanks, Buddy!
Actually the original idea came from playing Memory with my daughter (her favorite at the moment). As for looking for images, I believe people who have Krause World Catalog have an advantage.

My own opinion, for what it's worth, is that this was splendidly done. I simply loved it! Many thanks once again |

I thought that it was VERY well thought out even though I was quite busy and didn't have time to research/document all the earlier moves. I would love to see it again!

I thought it was great. The bogus cards had me going crazy, like that Canadian dollar. But overall I think it wasn't too difficult or too easy.

I agree with every one else I had fun with it. The one's that didn't play are the ones to ask.

Too hard? The fragments are what made the game interesting! The frustration spent trying to go after the false pieces are what inspired me to make some of the actual matches. I have to admit the fragments on that Polish coin I got was impressive, as was Ronald Reagan and the USA being on a Liberian coin. Like I said before it was very well thought out and put together! I'm a student who just got out of school myself... so maybe that gave me a little more time to do some research. But the ones who quit early really missed out on a great game!

I have to agree with everyone above. I thought it was an absolutely brilliant game and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute playing it. There were certainly some frustrating times trying to figure out matches only to be on a dead end but I learned a TON about world coins and have a new appreciation for them. My son even enjoyed playing along and we just ordered a lot of random world coins from the bay to continue the journey. Thanks again.
