A Contest Contest

I have an idea...how about we post a photo of our self from the various countries we have visited around the world and can prove that we visited there. If the country is in your list, then the participant wins a certain variety of coins from that country IF you have it available to give away. Sadly, this would limit those who don't get out much...but, then again, a lot of us do.

That'd be personal, wold coin related, and I think it'd get some good participation.

Just funnin!

If you have pics where you've traveled around the world - I'd like to see them anyway. Toss them up, it would be fun. Maybe you should start a "traveling thread" where the requirement is that people have to post pics that are NOT from their country.

I think you're right, that would be fun to see.

If I had this in my collection, scooby, it'd TOTALLY be yours right now!



But since you did make it to Disney Land...this would be the one you'd win since you proved it with a photo:



Now, talking about photos of far off places...check out this thread where I did post some photos from the air over the southern most tip of South America.

Scooby...did I win the contest contest?

Last night, after posting, I got to thinking, this could be a two-phase contest. Again, it's your contest, so you can do/modify as it pleases you...but something along these lines:
Phase one: Members post a personal photo with NO country ID but has enough visual information so someone can investigate it's location (location and location hints are shared with you via PM) and then they get a coin.
Phase two: Those photos (whose countries remain anonymous) must be IDed by forum members which would finish off your great world coin give away.

Example: I'd be REALLY impressed if someone could ID the photos I posted in the other thread IF I hadn't already given away their general location.

Or something like that...

Thanks, glad you enjoyed those photos. That was a pretty far-out trip. I might be tempted to post more later.

Thought you'd like that scooby coin!! ;)

I found that scooby coin for sale. PM sent with it's location.

Scooby, you have inspired me to go the extra mile in my latest numismatic quest.

I took some photos and wrote up a little report regarding a hacienda in Central Mexico that is supposed to be the origin of my avatar.

Here is a quick preview:

Always the thinker!

I got a good one, A mega millions roll over. Everyone picks 6 numbers (5 numbers must be 1-56) and then the power ball (1-46) Example...12,19,31,45,52,PB 8 Every time your number comes out in the weekly drawing you eliminate it. First one to eliminate all their numbers in the predetermined time line wins. Its great cause you can get to your last number and not have it come out for weeks. And someone with 4 numbers left can hit the next week. The trick is getting the power ball right. or you can box all numbers so the power ball becomes the 6th 1-56 pick, a lot of fun.
