Bi-metallic Quiz Game #654..........by Jack Hepler, USA
The first three coins in the Japan 47 Prefectures Coin Program have been released. These coins are Bi-metallic 500 Yen. The three Prefectures so honored are Kyoto, Hokkaido and Shimane. The coin of Hokkaido features a building with mountains in the background. How many snowflakes may be found in the design field of this coin? a. Three b. Four c. Five d. Six See this coin and others at the WBCC website: http://wbcc-online.com Please send your answer to: heplerj@juno.com Answer to Bi-metallic Quiz Game question #653 The 2004 Bi-metallic 5 Somoni of Tajikistan commemorates the 10th Year of the Constitution. Featured in the design is the country coat of arms. Above a rising sun and rays is a crown. How many stars are shown above the crown? a. Three b. Five c. Six d. Ten The correct answer to Bi-metallic Quiz Game question #653 is 5, 7, 10 or 12 depending on how the question is interpreted. Anyone answering with one of these is given credit for the correct answer. There are five stars directly above the crown but there are seven stars in the arch over the crown. There are also five stars in the clouds above the crown, thus there could be four correct answers. I'll try to avoid this kind of ambiguity in the future. WBCC Quiz Game Prize A Bi-metallic prize will be awarded for the correct answer. If more than one member gets the correct answer, a random drawing will be conducted to select a winner. The #652 Quiz Game winner is Gabor Toth, WBCC member #80. There were ten players in this game. 11. New
