This hasn't ended yet I spent half an hour compiling the types and checking old threads.
So people who haven't voted yet, please do.
Thanks to those who have voted!

This may sound blasphemous coming from the old guy sitting (temporarily) atop the guess-the-price contest list, but I really enjoy the identify-the-coin contest. I've learned a tremendous amount from monitoring it. I believe that I've posted only one guess so far - and it was wrong!

I like what's-the-coin as well, for the same reason I haven't had much of a chance lately to research them, but it's definitely a great learning experience just to read them.

The one-guess-per-day for an extended period of time can get very messy and hard to keep track of, but they're still fun.

I'm still trying to figger something to do for a pillar contest. Thanks for having this poll.. might help me figure it out

DL20K, I hope you don't mind if I plug my pillar post contest
