    If I had one of those Barrack OBama coins I'd definitely enter it, but... I haven't been able to bring myself to waste perfectly good $$ buying one of those, so I can't enter.

    I'm curious - what's the appeal of the ugly coin? Most people would prefer a pretty collection, I would have thought.

    Obama the Sun King. What a horrendous waste of precious metal.

    His face on that coin looks like one of those psych pictures.

    "Tell me what you see. A man's face? Or 2 turkeys fighting over a hamburger?"

    Surely the new 2014 koala has to be a new late entry?!

    Protest!

    It wasn't on the market when the Comp started.

    It is way scary though. Resembles a demented dunny brush. :/

    only 3 entries, one clear frontrunner. Good odds still to dump some stink coins for a sparkly new one

    Ballarat 1860s copper trading token.

    Deliberately bent to use in a gold prospector's cradle as a hard wearing pivot.

    That wouldn't get along with a vending machine. Do you find many tokens? I know a mad token collector if you have any unusual ones you want to part with
