Thanks loonie, and I'll remember that. My question was pertaining to game rules and descriptions rather then the specific ongoing contest. I'll remember not to use question marks or specify my question is non game related.

Best to ask if the coin is precious metal . Not if it contains a precious metal. Billon has some kind of precious metal in it. Gold or silver, But the coins are mostly copper.

1. Was this coin issued before the 20th century? No 2. Is the diameter of this coin greater than 22mm? Yes 3. Has this coin been demonetised? Yes 4. Was this coin issued before 1976? Yes 5. Is the weight of this coin greater than 10 grams? No 6. Is the diameter of this coin more than 25mm? Yes 7. Does this coin have a face value of 10 or less? No 8. Does the country of issue have an N in its name? No 9. Does this coin contain any precious metal? In our decadent societies, No. (I guess a poor person scratching a living on the smoldering garbage dumps of New Delhi would regard a piece of copper as a prize find!) 10. Is this a Standard circulation coin? Before it was demonitized, Yes. Half way there...

I was merely pointing out that what is deemed a precious metal can be relative, as pointed out by other posters!

Reduce the number of questions. Also, you haven't got it yet!

If my thinking is correct, that should only take a few (4-5) more questions
