    13/15 . The Numismatist Question got me and the 100,000 bill color question, (like I've ever seen one?) . I thought the Numismatist and the Mint 70 coin question were misleading.

    13/15. Typically, if you thought too hard you'd pick wrong. I found it was best to overlook inaccuracies and just go with my first instinct. I paused on the numismatic question and flubbed it. And for the life of me I couldn't remember the colors of a $100,000 bill. Damn, and collect those too! image

    12/15, I got the "numismatic" question, the nickel composition and the Fort Worth (I think I confused it with West Point) questions wrong. I'll admit to guessing correctly on the $100,000 bill question.

    12 out of 15 here. Caught by the 100,000 gold certificate, numismatic and guessed wrong on the 1969 versus 1979 coins (not my area of interest).

    Missed the "numismatic" question. Also the one on the composition of the nickel.

    I believe both questions were trick ones, and that one could argue for different answers to both.

    I got 10/15, but some of the questions are a bit flawed, in my opinion.

    I got 10 out of 15. That is pretty good considering I guessed on 14 of them.

    Bingo!! 13/15. Who knew that I studied currency. I have none. I thought I was a numismatist and a coin collector! Need to start collecting $100,000 bills too. Got that one wrong!
