3rd suggestion: Go to the forum "statistics" at a predetermined time/date and look at the "newest member". Have people guess where that member...
My next (2nd) submission would be "Tic-Tac-Toe".... Lay out 9 coins in the traditional layout. They can all be the same coins, like Roosies (for...
I would have 2 concerns with this contest: 1) Some people are voting multiple times, skewing the votes. 2) As time nears the end, the people...
Not trying to beat a dead horse, but: 1) The obverse portrait is poor on that coin. 2) The reverse hasn't changed. If they made a new dime, the...
