Would it not be wonderful ...
if one of the nickels ended up in the hands of a curious soul. He/she searches the 'net for an answer and is led to the CCF.
Now THAT would be special.

That could happen! You just gotta get all the keywords together. Here you go: Buffalo nickel CCF forum post history circulation found in change interesting coin colection collecting collector collect. I think that should do it. |

I'm entering at the last minute! Help!
If I win, I'm going to put them in different public vending machines (that I'm sure will dispense it as change eventually). This way they'll go straight into circulation and anyone can find one :D

We're up to 35 contestants! There's still time to join if you'd like in. See the first post for the rules.
There are 25 Buffs ready to stampede their way into circulation; but they need your help...

I'm Canadian so I cant do it but I gotta say, its not that good of an idea to put stuff like that into circulation. think about it... a nickel is 5 cents, someone will get it and throw it on the ground and it will get kicked into the road and damaged by cars or someone will get it and throw it in a fountain that doesn't collect the coins until a year or something when all the coins are corroded. There`s dangers out there for coins and some people don't look at there coins, they just spend them quick. Anyway at least you didn't do it with BU Liberty V nickels or something.  |

Freedom comes with risks. But don't worry, Buffs are a resilient lot.
Stay tuned, the first round winners will be announced around 8:00 PM EDT today.

I used the random number generator at: http://www.random.org/And the first round winners are:    17 Trickworm 28 WildYapok 4 HaroldS 16 skyshark124 3 xZACKx Congrats winners!  And thanks to all that entered. Now the real fun begins. The winners need to email me with their mailing addresses and as soon as I have all 5 I will mail out the Buffs. When you get the Buffs you'll have one week to put them into "circulation". Then report back to us and tell us how you did it. The most creative will win. |

Wait, I'm Canadian. I hope shipping won't be too bad if I win - I'd suggest putting them in some folded cardstock so you can mail them as a letter. But I actually think it would be better in Canada - a Buffalo nickel would be more different but less known. The recipient would be more likely to look up an American old coin than a Canadian old coin (which would probably just be hoarded somewhere). Or they could spend it without noticing, who knows? EDIT: Posted painfully late. Ha ha. Good luck to all the winners! Edited by nalaberong
