Giveaway #3: A set of Iraq coins (Winner has been determined, package sent)

Hello again and thank you for checking out my givaway marathon. This is giveaway number three in an undetermined amount of giveaways so stay tuned as I try to keep these entertaining.

Incase you missed the others, here they are:

Giveaway #1: Challenge Coin

Giveaway #2: Iraq Campaign ribbon and Unit Patch

This giveaway will include a set of Iraq coins that I picked up from a Kurdish interpreter that I became friends with on my first tour up in Mosul. His name is (You probably already guessed) Mahamed. As you can see, these coins are circulated and will be delivered in a plastic bag. I will include a small addition to this package that will be determined at a later date (It will be in relation to this deployment).

So, without further delay, let's see the goods and get this one under way. As usual, all you need to do is post to this thread and your entered. I will need for you to use the words "Enter me" so I know you are participating. Please feel free to post even if you do not want to participate.

Here are the goods:
