Well, I had time after dinner and before Scouts to get all the coins together.

And we even had a bunch of fun drawing coins! BionicleMan would do a little coin dance after each drawing. :lol:

All the winners here should send me a note via my profile with their mailing address.

 

Whew! What a rush! And with no further ado, I'm happy to announce the winners:

 

#1 5:33pm SC Micro - Satin Gold

What a grat idea for a cointest and thank you for your overwhelming generosity! Good luck everybody!

 

#2 6:28pm Crake Swallowtail Butterfly

Thanks for the cointest, Fingers Crossed for actually winning one of them! :laughing:

 

Here's a Haiku I shamelessly plagiarised from here.

 

I thought it quite appropiate being 'coin' inspired!

 

Haiku rides again!

Nice to have you back, poem

Been bored without you

 

I don't use coinStar

I save my change in a sock

To bludgeon people

 

Coins jingle-jangle

Like windchimes in my pocket

I'd rather have cash

 

Coins minted in Rome

Cannot be used to purchase

A goddamn thing here

 

Wayne Coyne is famous

For his musical antics

With the Flaming Lips

 

You can coin a phrase

Or you can earn some phat coin

Jokes can be coin-y

 

A coin collecter

Probably is a huge dork

Just think about it

#3 7:23pm Mt Rushmore Benchmark

waking from the sleep

Dreaming of big shiny coins

waiting for Santa Claus

 

#13 5:58am Two Seasons of December Silver

Getting ready for work...

Decide I should lurk...

Munching away on a Big Turk...

A Christmas Joke-

 

A guy bought his wife a beautiful diamond ring for Christmas.

 

After hearing about this extravagant gift, a friend of his said, "I thought she wanted one of those sporty four-wheel-drive vehicles."

 

"She did," he replied. "But where was I going to find a fake Jeep?"

#25 & 26 & 27 - Favorite Original Verse(s):

Crake Symbology Ant. Gold

I had a very very unhappy evening; I wrote this haiku to explain it:

 

UPS lost it

my Christmas gifts are not here

delivered elsewhere

 

GW5 Attendee

rusty ammo can

painted shades of forest green

snow upon its lid

 

Lady Luck Red-head / Black Nickel

Yet another hour gone

Like a child on Christmas eve

Exciting cointest

 

CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners... I actually had more winners than I was expecting. Thanks to all for the wonderful cointest! Do it again next year??!? :laughing::blink::lol:

Yipee, I won a coin! Thanks so much for the great cointest wsgaskins. That is also a coin that I dont have in my collection, so it will be most welcomed! I'll email you my addy in a couple of minutes, congrats to all the winners and to you for putting on such a neat and generous cointest.

 

Best Regards,

Jason aka MRJIFFY

 

After a second look, I realized I also won the first post as well, wow, I bought a lotto ticket this afternoon, I hope my luck continues for that!

 

Thanks again!
