However, I had never heard of the gold coin or the story behind it.

[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 336570, member: 5233"]I don't know about the rest of the contestants, but I really enjoyed the questions. I sat down and spent time looking up the answers and think I got the majority of them correct (I hope...hopefully you aren't laughing at my responses...and if so, I'm glad you enjoyed them ;) ).

The bonus questions (especially the Peace Dollar) were really hard. With that one, I didn't even know where to begin.
