Element #3 of Paper Money Contest #3 Well good morning folks.... Here is the remaining Element! By far it should be the easiest!! Please have all your answers to me by 8:00 PM this evening. I know this may put you searching during you're lunch hour...sorry! Thank you all for your time during this event!! Good luck and results will be posted by late Friday night or early Sat morning!! RickieB Element #3 1. A member here on CoinTalk has a collection of World Bank Notes One of my favorites in his collection is a 1Pound note from the Bank of Biafra. It is the only 1 pound note he has listed in the group for that Country! What is the Country and SN# of this note and who is the collector? 2. Specifically, if you won this Contest, how would this note complement your current collection? Would you sell it? Try to add the others to complete the set? What would you do with it? 3. When was the first appearance of the “Motto” on our US Paper Money? What note was it on? Where is it located and how many times is it shown? 4. What is a Changeover pair? Please define it. 5. Most everyone is familiar with an Engraver named “G.F.C.Smillie” But did you know that there are 7 engravers with that same last name? Who were they (by name) and who was the Father and Son duo? 6. Please submit your answer for the tie break question here in #6. It will only be used if needed. I would like to thank you all for playing and hope that this note, to whom ever it goes to will become part of your collection and thus inspire you to continue your goals and promote the hobby we all share together. Best regards,
You never replied to what I wrote about about the first two elements. "All answers submitted after 11:00 Pm will be given 1.5% credit if correct." "Those who did not submit on time will have a point reduction by 1.5%" Which is correct? Element# 1 "#3. What City in “New York” was the American Banknote Company located? 3.1 Since 1990 it has been occupied by another company, who is it?" Who? The company is a person? #7. Mr. Gene Hessler, one of the Authors of the Comprehensive Catalog of U.S. Paper Money, was a Musician and played a horn. When he became interested in Paper Money, who was his two mentors? 7.1 What 5 Books has he written? Gene Hessler has written a lot more than five books. Element #2 There are these: "1. On the $20 National Bank Note there are 2 prominent vignettes. Name them and tell me what they represent as well as who engraved them. 3. On the $100 National Bank Note, Liberty appears to be winged and standing with a fasces, what is engraved twice into the surface on which the fasces rest? 5. The Vignette 'Union and Civilization' appears on the back of the $20 National Bank note was engraved by who?" And I think that I forgot to mention this: "4. The Proof Series 1915/18 $20 Federal Reserve Note back features the Transportation theme, 'air, land and sea'." It is "land, sea and air." I have not gone through "ement" #3.

Having reviewed the answers from the folks still involved in the Contest, I will say that it will be close! You guy's are on top of your game! I will finalize the responses and post as soon as possible for you all to see. Today, I purchased 2 sets of the New $2 BEP Notes released for only 6000 sets! 10 notes will be released for this new program...hya: hya: Here is the link..... http://www.moneyfactory.gov/store/section.cfm/73/3194 Knowing how close this will be and all the hard work you all put into it, I have decided to enlist a 2nd place prize! This set will be that prize and has a retail value of ~$80.00. The winner (2nd Place) will receive the set in shipments as it is sent to me from the BEP......I reserve the right to repackage the notes as to eliminate my personal address from the package. My thanks to you all again!! :bow: :bow: Kind regards, RickieB

I set my alarm, then the GF undid it when she got up this morning. It still took me like 2 hours though.
I set my alarm..got up at 5:45 est to to get my oldest son up and off to high school, went back to bed until 7:45, got up to get ready for work, walked my youngest boy to elementary school, walked back home, drove my middle son to middle school, drove back home and got all the questions done except for #2 which I finished and sent before I went to lunch today. In between all that, I ran to the post office and shipped off 4 packages as well. Busy busy morning!
As with all my past Contest's I have posted the answers to each Element as they have finished...as you can see this format was a little different. All answers will be posted after 8:00 PM tonight. This is due to all past contest there has been a time stamp required for each elements answers. This contest has had time demands, but no time stamps, therefore up till the End of Element#2 time demand anyone could have answered. From the completion of Element #2 to Element #3 there are 4 of you in the running...you know who you are. I will start the posting of answers after 8:00 PM tonight! Regards to all that played! RickieB
