As I am almost at 1500 posts, I am having another contest! This is similar to my 1000th post contest. I have here 26 letters taken from various banknotes from around the world. These are all from the 20th and the 21st centuries.

Rules:
To play, you must have at least 100 quality posts.
You must live or have a mailing address in the 48 contiguous states.
This contest ends 12:00 AM forum time on June 22nd.
Feel free to look on the internet for clues and to match banknotes.
To submit your guesses, please send them to me in as few emails as possible.
If you have already submitted your guesses, you may change your mind anytime before this contest ends.
Submit guesses in this format: 10 India(n) Rupees, 2005, etc.
You may submit a partial answer.
I will pay shipping fees on the prizes.

Scoring:
For every partially correct answer, you get .5 points.
If you get the country and denomination correct, you score 1 point.
If you get the date, country, and denomination correct, you score 2 points.
If you get the date, country, and denomination correct on a letter marked 5, you score 5 points.
The top 3 scorers get a prize to be announced later.

Have fun!

Yes, you most certainly MUST have 100 posts! And I said email the answers to me so others can play this contest too.

Finally! It's been a long, slow build-up.

By the way, I think I really like this type of contest... Probably because it forces me to research and learn something.

Thanks for the contest!

I am sorry though it took me so long! I have not had much time to even get to 1500 posts. Been out of the country for family reasons.

I am so sorry coin197. I meant to enter, but I have family visiting and have been too busy ti sit down and do some research. Still a great contest idea and am sad I haven't had the time to participate.

Congrats on the 1500 posts and thanks for the contest.

I only got one response so spruett001 gets the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes. It will be a surprise. Please respond to my PM as soon as possible!

Replied to PM! Thanks for the contest (even though I had no competition).

Come on folks, you couldn't submit a guess for X at least?
