Guess what this is a photo of!

Not magnets.

Clue: Figuring out what country they are from could help tremendously.

good ole America?

Cananda?

I have no ideas

 

[Barbara L]

Not the U.S. or Canada.

Hint: Rather than try to guess every country in the world (there are a lot of them!) why don't you try to narrow it down with questions like, "Is it in the western hemisphere," etc.?

I will be pretty busy today but will check on here whenever I get a chance.

P.S. The answer to my example question is no, it is not in the western hemisphere.

Well, let's just say that neither of the Americas are in the eastern hemisphere!

I would assume they are a couple inches long.

Hint time: These are common items, but the ones we use in the U.S. look much different.

They're Somalian guitar coins.

 

[Barbara L]

Phinz got it! They are real $1 coins. You can see the backs of them here: Somali Republic - Set Of Six Legal Tender $1 Guitar Coins - 2004 - Enameled - Guitar Coins Coins World Coins Black Mountain Coins.

Give us a good one!

How in the world do you decide what picture to put up.. I always have such a hard time!

 

[Barbara L]

Saphellae, sometimes I just happen to have a picture I want to use, but usually I search for different topics (biggest..., oldest..., unique..., etc.). Make sure you save whatever picture you want to use to your pictures using a different name. For instance, I save mine as either whatsit or whatzit. Otherwise, you can tell what it is by putting your cursor over the picture or checking the properties! This can be really fun, so I hope you will join us in guessing!

Here's a fun one. What is this?

 

[Barbara L]

Some kind of ionizer?

[dave the baker]

looks like a filter of some sort. Water?

 

[phinz]

Neither.

 

[Barbara L]

Cigarette/cigar filter/holder?

[phinz]

It filters nothing and holds nothing.

For what it's worth, I showed the same picture to my wife and my best friend on Friday night and took each of them about 5 seconds to blurt out the answer at the same time. I have such nerdy friends.
