<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1672441, member: 31533&quot;]Easter will be on Sunday, Mar 31 this year and in honoring that &quot;date&quot; (March 31) I am holding this contest. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the past 50 or so years, this &quot;date&quot; was historical from a numismatic standpoint, being a key &quot;date&quot; so to speak. For this contest there will be two parts:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Tell me the date of this occurrence and write a paragraph or paper on it. Cite your sources if you write something that uses references, and be mindful of copyrights... i.e. make this your own effort and not a cut and paste job.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) Add an &quot;easter egg&quot; in your response. The most creative placement of an easter egg will have a special prize given also (make the easter egg numismatically related).</p><p><br /></p><p>I am the sole judge of the winning entry and the prizes will be as follows: </p><p><br /></p><p>1) Main prize for the winning &quot;entry&quot; (#1, above) will either a U.S. Mint official Lincoln Cents 1909-1973 Book (U.S. address only, shipping by media mail) or a circulated US War Nickel (my date choice) (outside US only --- subject to shipping restrictions). This ensures that nearly anyone on CT, can enter the contest, and only those living in Non-US countries where it is impermissible to ship a US nickel to will be left out.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) Second prize given will be for the the numismatically related &quot;easter egg&quot; I like the best (creativity counts) and will be a circulated 2009 Fort Worth printed $1 bill with the serial number E75555055A and a circulated 2006 $1 bill with the serial number B03358987* (star note). </p><p><br /></p><p>Note, although I don&#039;t expect any variation from the event I am thinking of, if by some chance someone comes up with a different numismatic occurrence for that date, I will include it as acceptable. So you don&#039;t have to worry if you don&#039;t come up with the one I&#039;m thinking of. </p><p><br /></p><p>Contest closes on Easter at 6pm Pacific Time (U.S). Have fun and good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
