[Game] World Coins Time Machine… Counting Backward by Year! (Plus Prize Coin)

The guidelines, which were clarified when the thread was resurrected a few months ago, are that the year remains the same as long as people are posting coins of that year. If no-one posts any more coins of the year for 24 hours or more, you are free to move onto the next year.
This way people don't get frustrated by having coins to post and finding the date has moved on before they have had a chance.
These are only guidelines - no one is going to kick you out for stretching them!

1978 Norway 50 Ore

 

Hi, @Guy Ferguson! I'm not certain my means of determining 24-hours is 'correct,' but I have not heard any complaints. I check out the time on the last post and calculate 24-hours from then. For example, the post of your quoted text above has a timestamp of "Today at 6:22 AM." My understanding is that means "today," which is Tuesday, December 1; 6:22 AM, as I understand it, is the time you posted per my local time - which is Pacific time. So, had you posted a coin dated 1980, for example, and there were no other posts with a coin dated 1980, I would be free to post 1979 at any time after December 2 at 6:22 AM.

There are beautifully preserved heads of all Ibex/ Argali/ Dall/ Big Horn sheep. Probably has 900 stuffed specimens. All look realistic/ almost as if they were alive.
