We have a new champion: Stujoe's :ninja:

FEC. This week's challenger was described as 1976 50 Dinars, but its true identity remains a mystery after some terrible event in its past life as a circulation coin.

Defacing doesn't make it ugly.

I voted for the cent. Out of these two, I'd rather not touch the cent. :ninja:

Wow, this was a hard one... I ended up going with the FEC, because the poor dinar looked like it had gone through a machine (judging by the total damage, some ACME product being operated by Wile E Coyote) and whatever happened to that cent was--heaven help us--more or less natural, the drill hole notwithstanding.

FEC still has it for me. If I ever meet Stujoe it will be under the protection of a radioactive suit.

I bet Stu glows in the dark after touching that thing.

A coin has to be "naturally" ugly to win in my book...that Dinar has essentially just been made into a slug. The FEC still looks like it's diseased, so i go with him.

The horribly diseased FEC gets my vote on this one.

Touch it? It resides in a level 4 isolation chamber located 100 miles from the nearest population center.
