Oh No
Santa just dropped off a late present
a bilz box - It is a three dimensional puzzle with multiple levels that one has to navagate a ball through a maze on both levels.

If and when you get through the maze it releases a compartment which holds a banknote in my case a $20.00 note
Dang thing took me about an hour to figure out how to get the thing solved.

I received no coins, but there was a nifty little QX5 under the tree for me. :)

I have a thread posted with the first pics - couldn't even open the accessories bag or read the instructions before I had a dollar under the glass.
Rest in Peace

Old Dan:

Sounds like you did well.

Santa evidentally spent lots of time in Wyoming and Colorado this year.

I can't help but wonder if maybe Bubba Claus may have slid across the Kentucky border into Indiana and short changed us Hoosiers? Coon dogs DO tend to wander!

We stopped exchanging gifts a few years ago. Both my family and my wife's family agreed to the "policy change" and we all are very happy about it! It really takes the stress out of the holiday season. It is much less hectic and more relaxing without having to go to the mall and buy a bunch of c**p for everybody. It is just nice to get together and visit with the family and eat lots of junk food. Highly recommended.

Well I guess I must fess up! I didn't get any coins for Xmas so I ordered some on my own! Had to have the Liberia "Titanic" coins with the chunk of coal that was raised during a 2001(I believe) expedition to the shipwreck. Now all recovery efforts are banned so that chunk of coal embedded in those coins kept calling to me! Very small mintage and the thought of that coal lying on bottom of the ocean all these years and being raised from such a famous shipwreck makes it all worthwhile and the coin is NOT round but oblong so its definitely different. Hopefully I will be able to post a photo one of these days!
Rest in Peace

Well, it was the funniest thing...I got home Christmas night and found that one of Santa's helpers who lives in the Land Down Under had given me a Perth Mint Centenary Sovereign! I'm still thinking this must have been a dream of some kind, maybe too much hot cider or something...did anyone else have a dream like this?

The four coins Santa from the UK sent me this year.

I crown from Gough Island (Population 7)

Unfortunatly US customs decided to inspect the package and all four coins arrived outside their holders and loose in the box

Yep, adobero1, a dream, but in my case, only a dream.
