ABSTRACT:
A coin game which is played on a game board having thereon a multiplicity of individualized landing spaces along the game board path. Each landing space has a specific designation. Along the path, are general landing squares, each representing one of a set of 24 Peace Dollar Series coins. Other landing squares are action squares wherein a player has the option of buying or selling coins, buying or selling silver shares or gold shares, or receiving money. The object of the game is to either collect the entire 24 Peace Dollar Series of coins or alternatively accumulate a sufficient amount of cash so that the player can acquire the rare 1927-D $20 St. Gaudin gold coin for $150,000. The game pits players against each other. Each player is given a certain amount of cash at the start of the game and a playing piece to move along the game board. The game is educational in that it teaches the player about coins and coin collecting and is also a game of both chance and skill. The player must invest wisely in determining how much money to keep as ready cash, how much to invest in gold shares, and how much to invest in silver shares. A random selection device such as a pair of dice are used to determine the number of landing squares along which a player moves and where the player's playing piece lands. Different options are available to the player, depending on which landing space the playing piece lands.
