    are all you guys & girls signed up for this free newsletter?

    sent out monthly, and there's a competition every newsletter, asking a simple question, letting you win gold / silver coins / bars.

    PS: I believe that it doesn't matter if you live overseas. When Perth Mint ran a contest on Twitter, they sent prizes to overseas winners.

    I signed up! In looking back at some of the newsletters, I don't know if I will actually be able to answer any of the questions! haha

    I don't know Mandarin but cheating (using various online translators) I'm guessing it's Huan Yin (although most say it should be Huan Ying). [FYI I believe the "Pinyin" reference is simply one method of using the roman alphabet instead of Chinese characters.]

    Yeah, I thought Huan Yin but everything said it really should be Huan Ying . . so that is what threw me off, I figured if they are going to celebrate their 40 years together, at least they would say "Welcome" correctly.

    I'm talking about the bullion newsletter, not the numismatics one. The bullion newsletter questions are simple, and always on the blog. As for those numismatics anagram questions, forget about it, I'd prefer to do other things with my time.

    Anyone get the recent one? They are giving away a gold coin if you can answer;

    "HOW TO ENTER:
    Check out our YouTube channel to discover the nominal face value of the world's largest gold bullion coin. Then email the correct information to [email protected] by 31 October to ensure your entry goes into the prize draw for two 99.99% pure gold Kangaroo coins. "

    Sadly I can't find that video at all so if anyone wants to help me out I am all for suggestions.
