20 Questions! (Forum Game)

Does the name of the country start with the letter in the American alphabet, 19th or later?

Nice rant, just point out that, contrary to what you said you did not want someone to win that round, on top of that it is duplicitous to give a hint then say "oh no that was a hint" but hey your right, I should not have assumed you were honest.

I made an attempt to move on but the addition of spruetts rant has put me off. Good luck to you

Hey guys
I stumbled into this game a few days ago and hung around because the trash talking (which I have always enjoyed) had me belly laughing. Started learning lots of new things, too.
Good natured trash talking is great fun. Ad hominem personal attacks are not.
Let's try to keep this fun. Otherwise, people will stop playing and there won't be a game anymore.

About the Euro, I had always understood it was issued by the European Union and not by any individual country, all of which have discontinued their traditional currencies (except Britain, which wants to Brexit but can't figure out how). So I will ask the question: was this coin issued by the European Union?

I know nothing about these coins but I do know my wife's cousin brought me a set from Spain that I think were minted in Madrid. So think every country mints there own. and the question was The country of issue

Keith-Were they dated prior to 1999 when use of the Euro began?
Using Euros in Europe, it makes no difference where the coin comes from because it is good throughout the EU. I had noticed that some of the coins depicted things that could be identified with some of the EU countries, but took them to be like Statehood Quarters.
As usual, I was completely wrong. It seems that each of the 12 Euro zone countries, along with 3 minor states do in fact issue their own Euro denominated coins. They don't necessarily say the issuing country's name, but can be distinguished by the things they depict. In other words, by the pictures. Each of the 15 issuers mints the same 8 denominations, so it would seem we have 120 possibilities to narrow down.
Looks like Sprue is going to sprain our brains again.
Edit: I forgot that we concluded we were down to six countries after the geographical questions, so no more than 48 possible coins.
We can take Sprue down. Time to exact revenge!

Looks like denominations are 2E, 1E, 50 cents, then 20, 10, 5, 2, 1 cent coins.
We can cut possibilities in half with a denomination question. A good look at a map may let us cut in half again.
The date could be harder to pin down as countries adopted Euro at different times,

I will guess: Is the denomination greater than 10 cents?

Would someone mind taking a look at a map and see if we can define a bisecting line cutting number of countries in half? I need a nap.
