Had I known a New Zealand coin would do better than Australia, I would have entered one! It was clearly written in the rules. |

I didn't know you were running the competition, my guess is you don't make the rules but negatively reinforce them?

I've enforced nothing, just pointed out incorrect claims you have made. Honestly, I've little interest winning this round, but I find your bellicose attitude irritating and thus difficult to ignore.

Princetane that's a nice looking florin. I really enjoy the drtails on that portrait of George V.
The reason I didn't use capitals or mint location for determining distance is because I'm more interested in where the coin was used than where it was minted. Ideally I would have liked to use the center of population but that would get too complicated and no one would participate.
Scoreboard:
1. Gincoin43 - 20 (18,389 km, earlier post)
2. Princetane - 20 (18,389 km)
3. Arkie - 14
4. Pepactonius - 13
Edit: This round will end tomorrow at 10pm forum time.
I lost track of what day it was. It's the third, so let's wrap this up today at 10pm forum time.

it would be fairer for me and I think the older coin rather than distance should break a tie. Sorry but you don't make the rule's for this round |

I feel I should have won and don't agree with this nonsense. I have many nice florins like the one I showed, yet they are not enough to win. I am refusing to accept the result and not entering again for a while.  ***post revised by staff*** Edited by Princetane

I'd have to check my collection, but if I couldn't find anything that counts for at least 7 points, I'm sitting this out as well, in solidarity with Princetane.

It is looking a little bit like this might be a good time to hit the pause button on this thread. We can start it back up again down the road. I'll leave it open for another day of comments just in case I am mis-reading the atmosphere here.

I am willing to participate in a contest without me as a host.  |

I didn't realize it would be that bad. I apologize. I thought the rules were actually unclear, and I doubted I'd win the new one, anyway. In any case, I'm perfectly willing to participate in a new contest, and now that I've figured out what happened I'd probably do that if @Gincoin host it. Though I would really prefer @Princetane not to leave either. OTOH, it might be convenient to pause this for a day or so anyway, because US election night is ongoing and most people's minds are probably focused on that.

It seems like Princetane would very much like to host a contest. This would be my vote.
