    I'm guessing it is the reject pile from the counterfeit coin factory on the bank of the river.

    Well, that would fit with it being reported on a counterfeit news site...

    Really? Where else was it reported? I had only seen it on the site I quoted.

    You seem unfamiliar with Russia Today's reputation.

    I am very familiar with the reputation which the American mainstream media tries to push onto it. But the American mainstream media is one of the most unreliable in the world and nothing it says can be believed without independent verification.

    Cannot really make the comment I would like to make ... without violating our own rules. :) Let me just put it this way: There are media, government controlled or not, with a much lower credibility out there.

    And even then it depends on who you ask :)

    Wasn't it nice when the "media" didn't have an agenda ? And yeah, there may be some here who aren't old enough to remember that. And yeah, there are others who will claim such a day never existed. And they might be right, or they might be wrong. For it always depends on who you ask ;)

    Yes, it's a terrible shame how the media have become so biased and sensationalistic in recent years. :rolleyes:

    (I'd apologize for taking the thread off its rails, but with two moderators present at the controls, I'm not sure the responsibility is mine to take. ;))
