Hi Steemit friends and frenemies! 😂😄

It’s Friday and I am skipping work today to drive up to Canada! 🇨🇦 The day is looking sunny and lovely so it should be a good time.

^{Mmm smell those maple syrup and poutine breezes...}

For those of you into the silver...

Don’t forget! Monster Raffle 4 is less than a month away!

These are the OFFICIAL RULES per Hive account@raybrockman:

You may donate as much as you would like to the raffle (please be aware you are responsible for postage to the person who wins your donation).
Please make a post with your donation and use the tag monsterraffle. You may also copy your post to the Steem Silver Gold discord channel using the monsterraffle tag.
All ticket sales will be in SBD, 1 per ticket.
You may purchase as many tickets as you would like.
All SBD should be sent to Hive account@monster-raffle. Please do not send SBD to the ssg-community account.
Entrants need not be present to win.

It looks like we’ve had about 40oz of silver donated thus far. Even if you aren’t a huge fan of coin collecting, entering the monster raffle is a no brainer. For a one SBD ticket you could win a prize that ranges from $15-$60 USD. Hurray for easy money! 😄

The raffle will take place Saturday, June 22 at the Alliance Block Party in Colorado. It will also be broadcast via voice chat on the Steem Silver Gold Discord. An exact time will be determined closer to the date.

If you are into silver, gold and coin collecting in general, you may wish to consider joining Steem Silver Gold. SSG is the go to spot on the blockchain for precious metals chit chat and shenanigans. 😄 We would love to get to know you.

And BIG NEWS....

Well, more like a teaser...

Voting on the Steem Round is coming SOON!!!

Fellow SSG mod Hive account@raybrockman has taken the reigns on the project this year. However, he has also been in the thick of real life work commitments. When it is time for voting to start we will definitely get the word to all.

Last but not least, let me leave you with a little taste of silver.

This lionfish coin comes straight from the island nation of Barbados. It is one troy oz of .999 fine silver, and has a limited mintage of just 10,000. Underneath this unique fish you will also find clusters of Caribbean corals.

The coin’s obverse displays the Barbados coat of arms. Which according to APMEX:

carries two Pride of Barbados flowers (the National Flower) and the Bearded Fig Tree (ficus Citrifolia). On either side of the shield are the supporters-on the right is a dolphin symbolic of the fishing industry and on the left is a Pelican, after Pelican Island, a small outcrop later incorporated into the Deep Water Harbour development. Above the shield is a helmet and mantling and on a wreath is the arm and hand of a Bajan holding two crossed pieces of sugar cane symbolic of the sugar industry. The Coat of Arms carries the motto "Pride and Industry."

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
