That's a 2 pointer, right?  Nope. Ultra Palmolive isn't included.  @bungle What is the center coin you pictured? I should know but, don't. It's close enough to being octagonal to count for 2 points. @AgCoinAu I have yet to find a version in French but, I found an English version of your token listed on ebay: 181824868829In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

The center coin is a Sri Lankan 2 cents. It is a rounded octagon. I classify these as octagonal.

If you say so  If you rotate them a bit, they do look like an octagon with 8 points and edges. Like this Pakistani 2 paisa  But my eye sees 16 inflection points/edges |

 I'd call that one scalloped, not octagonal. |

Time's up!We had some very nice 1 and 2-pointers. No 3-pointers... And one 4-pointer!  I declare AgCoinAu the winner and thus, has the privilege of posting the next challenge coin!

Decided to give paper money a bit more love... 1954 - Canada note (modified) s/n 9999999  Not really sure about how points should go but here's my best guess.. if someone has a better idea please share 2 points for exact date 1 point for +/- 3 years 1 point for same country 4 points for another solid 9's note 3 points for another solid note of any numeral 2 points for a special serial number (Radar, swims or ladder only) 1 point for the closest one to a solid 9 note |

Excellent choice! I only say that because I don't have a perfect match and, I guess, no one else does. I know I have a 1-pointer, maybe 2, 3 or 4.  Truth be told, I check U.S. notes that cross my hands for serials but, not the world notes I have. I really doubt I have anything special in that area, though. What's a "swim"? Edit: Will this challenge last for three days? In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

A swims note is also known as a rotator.. meaning if you turn the note upside down the serial number will read exactly the same...
eg: 0608090 Just to be specific I personally don't consider the 1 digit for rotators...as they don't look the same upside down.
I think the rules stated that this has to last 3 days... but we can shorten the time frame if there's just no responses and move on I suppose...

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I'm familiar with the idea, I just have never seen "swims" before. It should last at least three days. This topic is slowly gaining strength. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
