Not a bad idea. I seldom do these "guess the number" contests. This one proved slightly more popular than expected. Which isn't a bad thing,...
Yeah, that escalated quickly, didn’t it. LOL
I think the ones with trillion-dollar denominations might be fantasies. 100-billion is the highest denom I see in that Wiki article I linked to...
I was mailing more of these to five of my nephews. Guess I need to buy some more now.
*ding*ding*ding* Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Well, guess what, @potty dollar 1878 ... you’re on a streak, man! First that quarter from...
Yeah, suuuure it was. ;) [MEDIA]
What if I had really done that? What would the random number generator have said? And how long would it have taken for someone to guess that...
D’oh! I totally overlooked that! :banghead: Sounded good to me. LOL (I’m a bit crispy myself, having just come off graveyard shift.)...
Might as well give one of them away...
4/21/21: This contest is now CLOSED. Winner was announced in Post #80. Here is a 50-billion-dollar ($50,000,000,000!) banknote from Zimbabwe,...
YOU DON'T WANT THAT!!! Trust me. :nailbiting: Just ask ladymarcovan. She'll tell you.
Oh, I dunno. Aliens could make it a lot more valuable. Depends on the type of radiation, and whether you're talkin' Planet Znutar or just plain...
Heat can cause warping when the metal softens up.
Having had a powerful electrical current go through it is another possible scenario, maybe, but that sorta falls under the same category as heat.
That happens. Stare at a weird coin like this long enough, and you’re bound to see all kinds of stuff. It’s certainly unusual looking. But...
Don’t see any crack. Just lots of micro-pitting. Any linear arrangement that makes that look like a crack is likely coincidental (pareidolia).
I don’t see any off-centered rim. Sure, part of the rim is gone but it appears to have been a side effect of whatever caused the damage....
As it happens, I just got some of those nifty hyperinflationary 50-billion-dollar notes from Zimbabwe. Got change for Z$50B? :p
I’m surprised the zinc core didn’t get exposed by the damage on that one. Must’ve had a pretty good copper layer on it.
Yep. BB or pellet gun, I’d say. Good shootin’.
