Lisa Lisa Collector is an understatement. Registered: 03/26/07 Posts: 123	QUESTION: Nickel is now a standard metal used in coinage, but this wasn’t always the case. What was the first known use of Nickel in coinage? Our first place winner will receive a copy of The Official Red Book, A Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins There will also be a runner up prize given to a randomly selected player with the correct answer. REMINDER: The Numisma-Quest ends on Saturday at midnight EST. Entries after that time will not be valid. See the Trivia info post for more details. When you post your answer, only the administrators can see it. Stop back this Tuesday. We will make all the posts visible and announce the winners.
