    I started collecting transit tokens last year, just because they're obsolete and interesting. The rest of the stuff looks like stuff that I'd collect as well.

    I LOVE this kind of stuff!!! Please put me in!

    @Joshg1928 - welcome! Only one entry post per member, but I'll let Post #65 above count as your entry, since that's MY lucky number! (It's my birthyear.)

    Good luck! We'll be having the drawing in the next 48 hours or so, so if anybody else wants to join, now's the time!

    Just stumbled across this thread from my usual browsing in the World Coin forum. If we were lucky enough to win, Henry would love the tokens...they are one of his (many) favorites...along with British pennies, Chinese cash, error coins, wheat cents and god only knows what all else.
    Thanks as always!

    I was wandering where is the February givaway in the Contest subforum, and by pure luck stumbled upon Quick quiz thread and a link to this thread that was in the Coin talk subforum that I am not reading at all.
    If I win by any chance a bag of coins I guess it will be problem to send it to Europe, but the chance is not high after all

    Thanks for opportunity to both LordMarcovan & Ace71499, I applied on the last day lol

    Yeah, I usually put these on the World Coins forum rather than the Contests forum, since they're more random drawing than contest. That's if they involve World coins. Since this particular one involved mostly US exonumia (but not really US coins), I just went with the Coin Chat forum, as sort of a general catch-all.

    Doing a search for "LordM giveaway" should enable you to find the current one regardless, wherever I end up posting it. Maybe I'll settle on a regular spot for them eventually (and am open to moderator suggestion there). Maybe "Contests" is the right place, though they're not truly contests of anything but luck most of the time.

    If you're in Europe and you win, I'll do what I told @coin_nut earlier. If you're outside the USA for this lot, and you win the drawing, I'll sell the lot and send you the money, rather than trying to ship such a heavy lot overseas.

    I suppose it's time to do the drawing. Let me catch up on work here and I'll do that shortly.

    So now we have...

    The drawing results!


    OK, so this month there were no "dead number" drawings. Two numbers were drawn, and both were qualified entry posts, so I didn't have to redraw multiple times.

    @Garlicus won the grand prize- the huge sack o' tokens and the Zimbabwe 10-trillion-dollar note, for Post #6.

    @John L. Caswell won the Red Seal $2 note from @ace71499, for Post #57.

    Congrats, winners! I'll shoot you a PM. And thank you to @ace71499 for partnering with me this month.

    As it happens, @Garlicus also recently won my "Quick Quiz #1" on the Contests forum, but that was from trivia skill, whereas this win was destiny- purely the whim of Lady Luck and the Random.org random number generator!

    I haven't really gotten the "Quick Quizzes" going just yet, but those will be actual trivia contests on the Contests forum, whenever I feel the urge to post one.

    These monthly (random) giveaways I will probably continue to post on World Coins or Coin Chat.

    I received my prize and I LOVE it. Thank you, again, @lordmarcovan

    Now I just have to figure out a way to deposit the $10 trillion into my account without drawing suspicion from the IRS, lol.

    Ah, grand. Maybe there is a cherrypick hiding in that stuff, who knows.
