 A while back I achieved my Pillardom and I have been wanting to have a contest to commemorate the
occasion. However, I have been busy and unsure what my contest should be
and what the prizes should be. I have finally worked things out though!
There will be five prizes for this contest (one for each hundred it took to reach Pillardom).
Part 1: A guess for the number of Mexican coins in my collection (Prize #1)
Part 2: A guess for the number of Canadian coins in my collection (Prize #2)
Part 3: Prizes #3, #4 and #5 will go to the people who can guess which countries (excluding Mexico and Canada, as they are already listed, and the US) I have the most coins from. Part 3 of the contest has been completed.
The three different parts of the contest incorporate the top five most represented (excluding the US) countries in my collection. Canada holds the first spot while Mexico holds the third. Part three of the contest allows the members to guess which countries hold the second, fourth and fifth spots. Those wishing to submit an answer for part three will not submit guesses for all three countries but for one country that they believe to be in the three remaining spots.
Example answer:
1. Mexican coins: #
2. Canadian coins: #
3. Country of xNow for the goods: Each winner will receive 5 world coins of my choice. I will do my best to make them interesting. If anyone manages to guess either the number of Mexican or Canadian coins exactly, then they will receive a bonus prize. The winners for Parts 1 & 2 will be whoever guesses closest to the number of coins for that country. The winners for part 3 will be the first people to guess the correct country. The contest will run until the three countries in part three are guessed or until November 24th (whichever is longer so everyone gets a chance to guess on parts 1 & 2 in the event that part three is answered very quickly).
Guesses: Now that they're all nicely organized, do not repeat answers

Sorry the winners were announced late. Things have been crazy with Thanksgiving. I just got another bag of foreign coin and I want to look through it before sending off the prizes (see if there's anything interesting to send to the winners). Prizes should be sent out sometime this week (providing I have the addresses). Thanks for playing everyone!
