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: http://www.money.org/Content/NavigationMenu/NumismaticEvents/NationalCoinWeek/default.htm 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?

Thank you for the heads up. It seems very interesting! I think I'll give it a try and then I might help with the clues. Take care and happy mylotting!

Oh do get into it. If all mylotters put their heads together, maybe the prize will be won by a mylotter.
