After a flooded basement, a hospital stay for myself and another for one of my sons, and the death of a close friend, I am finally able to get this moving again. Since we have gotten behind I am putting three questions in this round with a little extra time to answer. The Pick catalogs that were destined for prizes were lost in the flooded basement. If I can't get replacements, I will substitute another book. Question #12: How many different colors were used by the BEP for the Treasury Seal for small-size Silver Certificates? Answer #12: 3 Blue, brown (Hawaii), yellow (North Africa) c10ck3r 2 gsalexan 10 clayirving 11 wiggam007 13 TheNoost 12 Krispy 12 Duke Kavanaugh 1 Kasia 13 RonTerry 4 Conder101 1 lucyray 5 SteveInTampa 6 Weg 1 Question #13: What is the highest value dollar denominated instrument printed by the BEP? Question #14: What extra and unusual step was added to the production of a short run of notes for the Philippines at the request of the US Army during WWII? Question #15: How many notes were printed per sheet for the $20.00 Series 692 MPC notes printed by the BEP? Deadline for answering is Wednesday May 9, 2012 at 8:00pm Central. The Rules: 1. The contest will consist of a series of 20 questions about the BEP and its history. 2. One question will be posted at a time and run for five days. The closing date and time will be listed with the question. 3. Answers must be private messaged to me prior to the deadline. Answers received after the deadline will not be counted. Please do not answer on the board. 4. The correct answer will be posted when the time for answering has expired. 5. The person who answers the most questions correctly will win the first prize consisting of (1) the Durst reprint of the BEP Centennial book, (2) a CD-Rom of the Pick Catalog of World Paper Money Modern Issues and (3) a $2.00 note from the BEP 2008 series. Second prize will be the same without the Durst reprint book. Third prize will only be a $2.00 note from the BEP 2008 series. 6. If there is a tie at the end, the prize will go to the person who answered the first question correctly in the least amount of time. 7. I am the sole judge as to interpretation of the rules and whether an answer is correct.
