<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 1346205, member: 6986&quot;]Some months ago there was a thread about the book commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.&nbsp; A copy was available on Amazon with a link to it.&nbsp; I followed the link hoping to buy it.&nbsp; When I went to Amazon, I put the item in my cart and did some other shopping.&nbsp; Before I could check out, someone else came along and bought the book.&nbsp; That person was kind enough to let me have the book.&nbsp; I already had a copy of the Durst reprint of the book but wanted the original.&nbsp; I told him that I would offer up the Durst reprint that I have as a prize in a contest on the board.</p><p><br /></p><p>This year (2012) marks the 150th anniversary of the BEP.&nbsp; The contest will be a BEP trivia contest.&nbsp; Here are the rules.</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; The contest will consist of a series of 20 questions about the BEP and its history.</p><p>2.&nbsp; One question will be posted at a time and run for five days.&nbsp; The closing date and time will be listed with the question.</p><p>3.&nbsp; Answers must be private messaged to me prior to the deadline.&nbsp; Answers received after the deadline will not be counted.&nbsp; Please do not answer on the board.</p><p>4.&nbsp; The correct answer will be posted when the time for answering has expired.</p><p>5.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; Second prize will be the same without the Durst reprint book.&nbsp; Third prize will only be a $2.00 note from the BEP 2008 series.</p><p>6.&nbsp; 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.</p><p>7.&nbsp; I am the sole judge as to interpretation of the rules and whether an answer is correct. </p><p><br /></p><p>The first question will be posted on Sunday January 15, 2011 after I get home from the Packers-Giants game which should be about 8:00 Central Time.&nbsp; Good Luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
