SMART DARKSIDER GIVEAWAY

Aethelred · February 9, 2006 10:29AM

I will be giving this 5 Ecu from Belgium away to one smart Darksider:

It is large, DCAM, silver, has a mintage of only 15,000 and cats at $50.

HERE IS HOW THE GIVEAWAY WORKS:

I have just written the answer down, but I will not ask the question. If you want to get the coin be the first to tell me what I have written.

You may ask me any questions you like and I will answer them honestly, but only with a "yes", "no" or "I don't know."

The first person to make a correct guess will win the coin.

Good luck!

ajaan · February 9, 2006 11:20AM

hey dead king boy, you better not have quit us tonight. get back here and answer the questions.

Rickc300 · February 9, 2006 11:26AM

Is it King Offa? Offa's standard coinage was adopted by much of England.

He set up a new standard, the livre (i.e. pound (pound: 16 ounces) )— both monetary and unit of weight— which was worth 20 sous (like the solidus, and later the shilling) or 240 denier (like the denari, and eventually the penny (penny: A coin worth one-hundredth of the value of the basic unit) ). During this period, the livre and the sou were counting units, only the denier was a coin of the realm.

Geez, I give up on guessing anymore, I am getting brain fatigue... I'll just wait for the winner to be announced and see who it is.
Neat idea though and thanks!
