toast Pillar of the Community Australia 1091 Posts	Posted 03/19/2006 12:46 am This is a hard "Name the Country" contest for those world coin collectors who really like a challenge. This contest has no time limit, but the winner will be the first person that guesses all twelve countries correctly. The winner will win this modest coin and my admiration and others of your knowledge of the darkside. The rules are very simple, 1. Tell me which country's coins these are by EMAILING me. 2. Include your nickname with your answers. COIN 1 Below ANSWER: Isle of Man COIN 2 Below ANSWER: Kiribati COIN 3 Below ANSWER: Guernsey COIN 4 Below ANSWER: Cayman Islands COIN 5 Below ANSWER: Myanmar (formerly Burma) COIN 6 Below ANSWER: Malaysia COIN 7 Below ANSWER: Malta COIN 8 Below ANSWER: Cape Verde COIN 9 Below ANSWER: Andorra COIN 10 Below ANSWER: Liberia COIN 11 BelowANSWER: Burundi COIN 12 BelowANSWER: Iceland I did say this was a "Challenge" contest.I do hope you enjoy it as much as I did picking the 12 coins for this challenge. Your answers should be emailed. If answers are posted they will considered as "hints" to others, the winner will be the one who sends the correct Email.

I'll e-mail if/when I can find out more... Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

Wow, if you have 9 of them already, you know your world coins! Good luck with the last three. By the way, which 3 coin numbers are you having trouble with? They are all listed in Krause book, so enjoy the look of all the coins as you search. This is so much harder when you only have one side of the coin to go by. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16804 Posts	Posted 03/20/2006 03:17 am OK, I think I'm done. Toast, you have mail... Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
toast Pillar of the Community Australia 1091 Posts	Posted 03/20/2006 03:37 am We have a winner! I have received this email from Sap "Hi again Toast, Here are my answers: Coin 1: Isle of Man Coin 2: Kiribati Coin 3: Guernsey Coin 4: Cayman Islands Coin 5: Burma Coin 6: Malaysia Coin 7: Malta Coin 8: Cape Verde Coin 9: Andorra Coin 10: Liberia Coin 11: Burundi Coin 12: Iceland" Congradulations Sap, A fantastic effort and a great result! Coin 5 is a 1999, 1 Kyat, from Myanmar (formerly Burma)KM#60. I'm surprised anyone could get all twelve in such a short time. You are truely strong with the "Darkside Force". I think perhaps you should adopt a nick name of "Darth". LOL I'm sure your performance will have impressed anyone who collects world coins. This contest was meant to be really hard and I believed it was very hard. Well done. Which coins were the hardest for you to identify? For those collectors who do not yet collect world coins, I hope this contest helped you see the vastness and variety of coins of the many many nations of the world. They are worth collecting.

Sap Moderator Australia 16804 Posts	Posted 03/20/2006 05:24 am Thank you, one and all, and thanks to Toast for an extremely challenging quiz! The three that really had me stumped were numbers 1, 2 and 9. Number 1: I was looking all through the countries who have ever sent teams to the Rugby World Cup... then noticed that one year, Isle of Man issued a series with sports. D'oh! Number 2: Knew it had to be one of those tiny ex-British island-countries somewhere in the world (where lots of seabirds come to roost). Kiribati was the last one left to look up. Number 9: Tricky, tricky, tricky! Had me looking all over Asia for a 5 cent dragon coin. Finally gave up and started flicking at random through the "cent" countries... Liberia?!? Ain't no dragons in Liberia!!! Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
