Alright! Many thanks to everyone who played the game. I hope you all had fun.

Out of the many entries I got, the is the first one, and then the first correct one.

Coinaholic submitted his entry first, and got 23 coins right! I am not sure if he missed #12 by accident or by design. He didn't miss anything, I did! The answer was there, but hiding. This is what I get for going through too many emails all at once.
Less than a minute behind him was Snowman with all 23 coins correct.

We had a bit of a challenge as both of these participants submitted #23 as Lebanon, when I knew the coin was Syrian. We checked it out, and both countries had the exact same coin.

Well, I messed up! Therefore, I will send Coinaholic his choice of either an 1960 or an 1957 Florin, and send the remaining coin to snowman since they were both correct in their entirety. :)

Yep! JAB, those are the answers you sent, and since they came from my captions on my various gallery pics, I figured I was entitled to use 'em.

Guys, just so you know!

It's been a rough week at work. I have not yet gotten your packets in the mail, but they will most definitely go out this weekend.

I'm sorry I'm taking so long!

Hi Kitty, got my prize today, had a little Aussie introduction and rearrangement party! She is very well placed next to her countries cousins! Thank you once again! She's a beauty, and has a good home!

Good packaging too! Will have to remember that recipe, simple and effective!

And cheap! Don't forget cheap. ^^ I was afraid the weight would be over the limit, but the Postmaster said it was okay. :D I am so glad it arrived safely! I always worry about shipping coins.

For those of you wondering, I folded some heavy cardstock in half, wrapped the coin in plastic, and put shipping tape over it. That holds it firmly in place if you're only shipping a few coins at a time. :)
