The ANA is giving away a half ounce gold coin this year as part of the Money Show. If you're interested, you can sign up to get weekly clues on their site:

This year, the ANA (American Numismatic Association) is going on a virtual road trip -- and we want you to come along! The cross-country venture will double as a treasure hunt. Beginning Presidents Day, February 15, a clue to a numismatic object will be provided once a week via e-mail and on this page. The final clue will be revealed the Monday of National Coin Week, and all road-trippers who complete the hunt and register their findings will enter a drawing for a 1/2 ounce gold coin (revealed during the trip) and other great prizes. To reserve a spot for the trip and have information and weekly clues sent to you via e-mail, send a message to ncw@money.org with "ROAD TRIP" in the subject line.
Here's the clue for week 1:
*Clue #1*
*Welcome to all, Happy President’s Day!
Our bags are all packed, now let’s get underway,
A road trip that takes us from west coast to east,
For fabulous prizes…or good fun, at least.
Commanders-in-chief give us clues for this week,
The beautiful place on the coin you now seek,
Was protected initially by Honest Abe,
And Teddy made sure it forever was saved.*
I'm thinking it's a 2005 California Quarter (showing Yosemite Valley on the back). What do you think?
