My next contest I promise will be more doable and less obscure. I really think the challeneges should encourage participation rather than be excruciatingly difficult. Not everyone has a comprehensive collection like you Dorado. Maybe we should post coins and if Dorado can't match them, we get a point.

I just happened to have lots of British India and Hong Kong I have accumulated throughout the last few years, and have at least double the number that I did not need to show.  Lets try this: Post as large of a coin you can find with the smallest denomination you can find relative to the countries unit of currency. For example, these two: South Africa 1962 1 cent proof, 30mm, or Russia, 1838 EM 10 kopeks (kinda like their 10 cents) on a huge 40+mm planchet.   Scoring could go like this: Size: 40+mm: 6 points 35+mm: 5 points 30+mm: 4 points 25+mm: 3 points 20+mm: 2 points Less than 20mm: 1 point Denomination: Countries unit of currency: 1 point Half unit: 3 points Quarter unit: 5 points Tenth unit: 7 points Twentieth unit: 9 points Hundreth unit:11 points Odd denominations can be 5 points... Date/composition on the coin is not needed this time  . As normal, highest score gets the win! If one finds a better coin to score higher, do so  I can let this roll for a few days... (Might need a possible revision)
