Everyone ready!

Here is the list of identifiers. (I decided I like Scooby's identifiers)

I'm increasing the number of options to 18 and the number required for the answer to 10. Hopefully this will add a day or two to the game. (new ones marked in red.)

AUD Australian Dollar
CAD Canadian Dollar
CHF Swiss Franc
EUR Euro
GBP British Pound
JPY Japanese Yen
MXN Mexican Peso
NZD New Zealand Dollar
SEK Swedish Krona
SGD Singapore Dollar
USD US Dollar
XAG Silver (oz)
XAU Gold (oz)
IQD Iraqi Dinar
GRD Greece Drachma
VND Vietnam Dông
DKK Denmark Krone
SZL Swaziland Lilangeni


For those of you not familiar with the game:

Someone (in this case, me) selects 10 currencies and arranges them in a certain order (NO duplicates will be used!).
The players, y'all, (no, I'm not from the south, but I was stationed with a lot of Marines from the south.. and I picked it up.) try to guess which currencies I've chosen and in what order.

After each guess, you will get clues as to how many are correct in total, and how many are in the right position.
But, it's up to you to figure out which ones!

Let's take a test run:
Let's say I've chosen: MXN, JPY, XAU, USD, CHF, GBP, EUR, GRD, VND, DKK
And the first guess is: AUD, CAD, XAU, NZD, GBP, SGD, XAG, IQD, SZL, SEK
Then the clue would be 2 right in total (XAU and GBP) and 1 in the right position (XAU).
But, again, all you will get from me is 2 correct, 1 in the right position. You have to figure out which is correct and in the right place.

One guess per person per day. 1 day will be defined as midnight EST.
*** Exceptions***:
(A) If you post a reply that has too many or not enough selections, you may repost with the correct number of identifiers. DO NOT EDIT YOUR POST - just repost.
(B) You can take a second guess in the same day, but it will be your final answer. If you are wrong - you are eliminated and can no longer play.

********** PREVIOUS WINNERS **********
1. steve199 / nod2003
2. Adam_E
3. ?

This round's prize:

A small run of very nice 90% Silver Dimes. 1962-D, 1963-D, 1964-D
(dont mind the spot.. that was a photo shop boo boo.)

Mastermind-III-Winner!---Svslav!
Mastermind-III-Winner!---Svslav!

***BONUS***

Whom ever guesses correctly (or closest with out going over) the number of total tries it takes to get a winner (the winners try is included in this) receives a secret prize that will be revealed once we have a winner!

Each person gets to guess once and you must state your guess on your first try or it doesn't count. (if you forget just add a second post with your guess with in 15 minutes)

If the winner of the contest also guesses the total number of tries, the Bonus will default to the next closest (to be fair).

So, without further a due.

GO!

Woo-hoo! I get to play!

I'll start with
AUD, CAD, XAU, NZD, GBP, SGD, XAG, IQD, SZL, SEK (from the example - LOL!)

Does Switzerland feel it had francs for too long? Is it running two parallel currencies? Or you just meant Swaziland?
