Crazy to see this thread still going strong after 20+ years! Always fun jumping back in for a few rounds of Coin Uno.
Yeah, I had no idea what kind of monster I was creating when I invented this silly little game with no end to it. I too am amazed to see it still going. It has certainly been fun.

Sorry. Thought it was a 20c piece.
Even if it had been a 20c piece (which the Bahamas did not issue), your US 20c piece (nice though it is), would have been invalid, because the correct play would have been 1979 or any Bahamian coin.
No, Jughead’s 1979 Bahamian quarter was a valid play. So Ambro’s 1979 Roosevelt dime following it was also valid. Your shift to 1974 was too late and therefore invalid. It derailed us. But it’s too late to fix now, so we play on.

What’s more fun than a big gold coin with more than an ounce of bullion? When it’s a Deep Cameo (UCAM) proof and had a mintage of 1,500 pieces and is shaped like a guitar pick, that’s what!
Bermuda… Triangle. Get it?
Bought it for around spot price in early 2023. Then bullion value doubled. No regrets now!

I see now I missed the typed in year and then the 1800 coin through me - Thanks!
