EDIT: After thinking all day about it, I got to thinking that we should be thinking about it from Saintguru's point of view. The question then becomes.... Does Saintguru consider a "penny" a "coin"...... hmmmm. I'm thinking the "key word" is "coin" not "pile" now.
So if allowed, my second choice is 0 (zero), because I'm not so sure he thinks a penny is actually a "coin".
I already made my guess and I'm stickin' to it...unless...ah, which box are you talking about?
And then I have this to add:
I guess this new post of yours would be "brilliant, innovative"and...um...would "ingenious" about cover it? "Generous" came to mind first, and truly it is...and yet, a widow's mite could be so as well!
Anyway, keep the posts and threads coming. It seems the true nature of this forum is represented by you and all the others who continually seem to look for ways to help out, turn on, and encourage people to the hobby and the profession. B.I.G. ? Brilliant, Innovative, Generous. Here's to your BIG 30,000!

Anyone who wins this coin and doesn't auction it off for Charity (a valid charity, not some useless YN fund or whatever, donating 100% of proceeds from the auction) is a slimeball in my opinion. I know if I win I'm definitely going to do so.
What do you think about adding a stipulation that the winner must auction off the coin and donate it to a valid Charity, don't you think it would make this giveaway much more pious?

I'd say there are 25,000 exactly.
