My Mood:  |  Stainless's Contest: Round 3
Everyone responded, so we can start this early.
Here who is made to the third round:
wledswift
FreakyGarrettC
Ardatirion
spock1k
Mikenoodle
Jaceravone
ryanbrooks
RULES:
1. you must PM me with your answer(s). If you post an answer here, that means I have to ask a new question, and it will disqualify you.
2. You must answer the question before the time runs out.
3. You only get one shot. Make your first answer count. The first wrong answer places you out of the contest.
4. We will go as many rounds as it takes until we have the final two. They will be in the championship round.
5. Have fun. No fighting
The prize will be something worth while, I promise.
NOW...HERE WE GO
Round 2 answer:
coin #3
Round 3 Questions:
1. Tell me the story behind the "Widow's Mite".
2. Who was the youngest Emperor in the "crisis and decline" era of the roman empire?
3. Fire hoard coins sell for a premium. (True or False?)
4. Who was the first emperor to stop minting Denarius? Due to the confusion, I have decided to take this question (#4) out.
Answers due Monday at 11:59 PM EST!!!

I almost picked 3 because it was the only one I could enlarge. I thought it was a trick though. Thanks for the contest and good luck to the rest.

That last one was tough, but I see where #3 is the fake, #2 is what threw me through a loupe though. (pun intended, and yes I know the two words are spelled different.  ) Thanks for the contest stainless, it was fun! Good luck to the rest of you guys!

Would you kindly elaborate on the last question? Do you mean the last emperor to issue a denarius? Or the first to not issue a denarius? Do you mean the last to issue a silver denarius?
