    There were 140 total replies to this thread, counting the one you just made. Of course not all of those are eligible entry posts.

    What I will do next is go to random.org and have their random number generator pick numbers from 1 to 140. Every time it lands on a "dud draw" (an ineligible post or one of my own), I draw another number until it lands on an eligible entry post, repeating the process until we have six winners for the six prize lots.

    I'm about to do that in a few minutes.

    Here are the WINNERS OF THE APRIL CONTEST, as selected by the random.org random number generator.

    This is the order in which the eligible entry posts were drawn:

    #19 - @Dougmeister - gets Prize #3, which was donated by @Nas.
    #100 - @rp3989 - gets Prize #4, which was donated by @Nas.
    #44 - @Ryro - gets Prize #5, which was donated by @kazuma78.
    #48 - @Wanderingbark116 - gets Prize #1, which was donated by me, @lordmarcovan.
    #51 - @Bambam8778 - gets Prize #2, which was donated by me, @lordmarcovan.
    #53 - @Patrick M - gets Prize #6, which was donated by @mrbadexample.

    Two people (and I won't say who) would have won something, had they followed the instructions, but got passed over for incomplete entries (no coin-related content in their posts, and/or prize preference choices).

    And there we have it, folks! Congratulations to the winners, and many thanks as usual to my kind donor partners.

    Winners: get in touch with the donor for your prize via private message. I'll also send out a group PM as usual.

    As previously mentioned, the May giveaway is already up and running, so be sure and enter over there. It will play the same way as this one, though there are seven prize lots instead of six.

    And don't feel like you have to sit that one out if you were a winner here. Since the prizes are randomly drawn, that's all in the hands of Lady Luck, and if she (i.e., the random.org bot) decides to give you a streak, so be it.

    And many thanks to you @lordmarcovan for all your hard work on putting the contest together and distributing the prizes. One day I might inquire as to how I may put a couple things in the kitty for the contest. Mind you the cupboard is kinda bare over here but if it is free everyone likes it.

    Thank you so much! I will be using these to build my boys world coin collection to teach them about the world and get them excited about numismatics!

    (Very belated reply)

    @Dougmeister - that plastic "coin" is hilarious, with the gibberish "AVAG CO BEPSIG" legends on it. Hopefully your giveaway win here makes up for getting that in a roll of half dollars, right?

    See? Karma! ;)

    Actually that "gibberish" means something. One of the meanings seems to be a warning about an ancient witch, from the Bible.
    Another says " These coins are evil".
    It's actually a much longer phrase. AVAG CO BEPSIG is the abbreviation.

    So I googled " Translate AVAG CO BEPSIG " and got lots of hits. I only read a few and those two are some of them.

    Here's one :
    avag-co-bepsig

    Well, now that is fascinating. So not gibberish after all, then! (Or not completely gibberish, anyway.) Cool.
