Another quiz

[JeffH]

I will be starting a quiz tonight.
Some simple rules;
•A series of questions in the form "100 C" in a D" and you have to supply the words. Answer to this sample question is "100 cents in a dollar".
•You may only answer one question per post. Please note that if you post again just after a previous post the the forum combines the posts. For the purpose of this quiz that will be considered a single post.
•The person with the most correct answers when all questions have been answered is the winner. In case of a tie then a tie-break question will be used.
•A sensible, "correct" answer that is not the one one my list will gain ½ a point and the question will stay open for my answer to be submitted.

   PRIZE A quiz is no good without the reward of a prize -just the satisfaction of beating everyone else is not really enough. So up for grabs are;
•FIRST PLACE 1988 proof coins 1¢, 2¢, 5¢, 10¢, $1 and $2 plus a choice of 1987 or 1989 20¢ and 50¢.
•RUNNER UP A pair of uncirculated 1970 Cook 50¢. One of each "7" variant.
•WOODEN SPOON PRIZE A beautiful Mutant Ninja Turtles medallion. You will treasure this (NOT) long after the quiz is forgotten.

Question will be posted at 6pm EST this evening.
Any questions, comment or suggestions to me please -preferably before then.

Jeff
PS. It is often stated "Google" is your friend. Don't be so sure about that for this exercise. Some easy questions and some hard questions but, clues will be posted if it looks like stalling.
PPS. If anyone has spare 1988 20¢ and/or 50¢ and wants a swap for another year then these will be substituted into the main prize.

Not counting my chickens just pointing out a typo

[JeffH]

That chicken would be worth hatching! And I only proofread it three times before posting. Mea culpa.

This is why authors should never proofread their own work. :angel:
