22 cent coin is a dud.

one of the 2 euro coins and a 1 euro are fakes.

What other fake coins can you see?

There is no such thing as a 22 cent coin.

Ok, have a look at the 2 euro on the right hand side, the text euro on the coin is wrong.
On the 1 euro the base of the number 1 is missing.

Re the coins game

The gold coin to the right of the 10 c coin at the top is smaller than the ten cent coin, even though the ten cent coin is the smallest gold coin in the set.

Not everyone gets through to the studio.

From what he has been saying there is a certain open line they are waiting for.

Heh, nah I called in last week because there was a countdown timer on and foolishly thought that when she said "We have to wrap this up before the timer runs out" that she meant "We have to wrap this up before the timer runs out."

heres my proposed solution for wednesday night thursday morning coin game. I'm sorry I can't figure out how to imbed the image properly.
1. Coin too small
2. Map wrong
3. 22 cent coin
4. Bottom missing from 1
5. Globe not oriented correctly

I could be wrong as what I found most difficult about this puzzle is that my Standard definition television didn't display the image at a high enough resolution. It was only with the answer and working back was I able to solve it. Even then I could be wrong.

Strange they didnt give the solution, because they did on last weeks one where the answer was 7.89, admittedly it was displayed for about 2 secs.
