triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9690 Posts	Posted 07/12/2024 07:07 am Post 2 circluation coins from the same country that are still legal tender now. I'm looking for the smallest coin and the largest coin. Subtract the diameter of the smallest from the diameter of the largest coin to give your score. Now subtract the lowest denomination from the highest denomination and then multiply this by your previous score to get a final total. Where a coin is a dollar to 2 dollars or similar, take the value in the lower unit for this currency, so 1 dollar is 100, 2 dollars is 200 etc. Highest score wins. Example... 1911 threepence - diameter 16mm 2005 50 cents - diameter 31.51mm 31.51 - 16 = 15.51 50 - 3 = 47 15.51 x 47 = 728.97 Ok, let's see what you have. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 27023 Posts	Posted 07/12/2024 11:08 am US 3 Cents 1858 - diameter 14 mm US 20 Dollars 1927 - diameter 34.1 mm (34.1 - 14) * (20.00 - 0.03) = 401.397 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
bd251 Pillar of the Community United States 1871 Posts	Posted 07/12/2024 4:13 pm UK Maundy penny 1908 Diameter: 11mm Original face value: one penny (1d) Current face value: one (new) penny (1p) UK crown 1902 Diameter:38.61mm Original face value: 5 shillings (1/4 pound or 60d) Current face value: 25p (1/4 pound) Neither of these coins were demonetized, but they were given adjusted values in decimal pence. Maundy Money simply retained its denomination, but now in new pence. The crown, which hadn't been minted for circulation in almost 70 years at decimalization, was 1/4 pound (25p). I've calculated my score for both the original and current denomination difference (in pence). It won't matter though, because Hondo's score should actually be 40140 according to the rules. Difference in diameter: 27.61 Difference in value (original): 59 Difference in value (current): 24 27.61 * 59 = 1629 27.61 * 24 = 663 Edited by bd251 07/13/2024 01:45 am Report this Post to the Staff

ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2577 Posts	Posted 07/13/2024 05:52 am No chance to take the lead after that magnificent 3 cent played by Hondo!....and the $20 goldie wasn't too bad either! So I'm going the other way to see how few points I could get 1969 1 cent - 17.53mm dia 1952 three pence - 16mm dia Similar to bd251, the threepence changed in value to 2 cents on decimalisation. Dia 17.53 - 16.0 = 1.53 x 1 difference in value Total = 1.53 !!!! beat that! Well done Hondo! The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.
