KT's KT contest. (KT = Kitty)
September 28, 2008, 03:38:29 AM
It's been a while since I had my last contest.  I simply haven't been able to think of anything good to do!  And so, this morning while browsing I was thinking how fun the contest was where (I believe it was) GO (on Mom & Dad Site) posted tiny bits of varying world coins, and challenged us to name each coin and country represented.

That contest drove me crazy for a week, but when I finally got all the countries in, I was elated.  Best contest ever, IMO.

And so, I have stolen that idea for my own contest, but with an important twist.

I have 23 pictures of coins with Kittys on.  To qualify, I only ask the name of the country of the coin, but I will give extra points if the denomination and/or year is given.  Many coins are common circulating coins of countries, but others are bullion commemoratives.  PLEASE do not post your guesses here, but PM them to me directly. 

Yes, this contest is on the Other forum too. ;)  For the prize here, I will offer one (1) Copper 2008 KOTCT medallion. ;D  Paid for by me, shipped by the appropriate someone else.


And on to the Fun!  That's all I ask, have fun with the contest. [:)]

Alright!  I've gotten a couple of submissions in, and Justabeginner has gotten them all correct. :)  He knew to go to my Omnicoin site, and the KOTCT Gallery to see my Kitty coin collection first hand. ;) 

Is there anyone who still wants to work on this puzzle?  I will hold off posting the answers for another day or so.  :)  Hope everyone had fun!

Do add this coin to my collection?

I was going to use your Omnicoins site, but I thought that would be cheating.

Congrats, Justa.

To be honest, I used the coin posts here and omnicoin to identify these.
I just wasn't as thorough as Justa--your determination paid off!  ;D

Kitty, have you seen this site?  It's a very nice compilation of animals on coins, including cats.
