Ok.......the Madness Stops today ! We have a winner!
Before I post the winners name and amount that was the correct amount,pictured, I need to know the following . .....
Who all counted George in the port hole?
Who all counted the Blank platchet in the upper left hand corner,that BTW is in clear view....?

 

I was omitting the George Portrait and not counting the blank planchet. I caught the blank planchet on day 3 I believe.

 

$15.71 was it, wasn't it?

 

I didn't do eather I was just adding up what I thought I saw, at 1st I thought it might be a trick puzzle. My last guees was from your clue about having all the numbers, just switched the numbers around. "Not saying I had the correct answer" But I liked the contest very much

 

Why didn't you count George ? After all he was printed by the BEP?

 

I didn't think it was actual currency, rather a representation.

 

It was indeed a fun time.

 

Hold up. Are blank planchets not considered spendable? I would think it still counts as that amount. hmm

 

to Break it down here's what you were looking at ......142 coins & 1 dollar bill =
38 Buffalo nickels = 1.90
23 Proof Nickels = 1.15
2 peace dollars = 2.00
1 shield Nickel = .05
6 dimes = .60
2 Franklin Half's = 1.00
5 Half Dollars = 2.50
10 Quarters = 2.50
16 silver Dimes = 1.60
1Washington $ coin =1.00
1 Large cent = .01
2 toned nickels = .10
21 IHC =.21
9 Lincoln cents =.09
1 US Dollar Note =1.00
------------------------------
$15.71 plus 1 blank one cent worth 0 face.

All of the above were sitting on this as pictured a intaglio print of George Washington. Printed by the BEP and looking through a port hole!

Now there's only one ACE and one Winner!" Congrats ACE 71499"

 

Ace pm me your addy.

 

YOU WONT MY ADDY TOOO....I demand A RE- COUNT........

 

No blank planchets are not negotiable ,maybe in a coin shop, but not in this contest or in the real world. If that were the case then the mint wouldn't need to put an amount on a coin.

 

I'm so happy I won!!! This was a hard one though. Everyone was pretty close
Thanks for the contest Paddy !

 

All decisions of the judge's are finial!
