    I have never owned a gold coin but honestly I'm not actually that interested in it. I'll nominate @Shrews1994

    My father had a $5 Indian from his father, but it disappeared. My late mother-in-law had 3 gold Thai coins in a safety deposit box in Bangkok so I might see those one day, technically my spouse owns them now so I do too, right?

    This one is ridiculously tiny. But that’s part of what makes it interesting and fun. These had to be terribly impractical in their own time. Were probably constantly getting lost. You could sneeze and blow it away!

    If I don’t get sidetracked or overwhelmed at work, I’ll try to do the drawing tonight (in the wee hours of Saturday morning, January 3rd, Eastern US time).

    Time for the drawing.

    Our lucky number was... 16.

    upload_2026-1-3_2-4-40.png

    And post #16 was by... @No_Ragrets, on behalf of @Jersey magic man!

    Ha! How prophetic! It seems @No_Ragrets does indeed have the "Midas Touch"!

    COINgratulations, @Jersey magic man! Thanks to the thoughtfulness of @No_Ragrets, you now have your first gold coin a-comin'! :woot:

    OK, so it is an extremely tiny gold coin, but it still counts. :)

    I shall need your shipping address, of course, and will message you shortly.

    Do please post a receipt to this thread later, after you have received it, so we'll all know you got it.
