All I could find out about the reverse is that it's actually a Syrian Hawk, also known as the Hawk of Quraish.
Actually, I prefer ketchup. Catsup is too oily for crow meat.
Oh, ok. Thanks for that explanation. Is that the finish used on guns?
Actually, this isn't from Egypt, it's from Syria. The denomination is 1 pound. I can't read Eastern Arabic script, but I can read the numerals,...
That was a good article, but I didn't see anything about black cupro-nickel. I just wonder how it was colored.
That's a very interesting coin, but I have to ask; what the $#@& is black cupro-nickel? I've never heard of that in my life.
Nice coins by the way. I like how the Russian eagle is without adornments.
Notgeld started out as emergency money, but by the end they were closer to wooden nickels than anything else. I think the vast majority of notgeld...

Not even the Virgin Mary could protect those coins in a plastic Zip-Lock bag outside in the elements. Think of the PVC!
To the top, so everyone avoids!
Probably because they always agree with you. That's really productive. :rolling: If you're not insecure, why do you feel the need to constantly...
I think I might get one of these in the future. If you wouldn't mind, could you tell me how much one of those Lugano talers sells for in MS? That...
You're really only assuming here. I really don't think hyperinflation to that extent would occur in the U.S. in any of our lifetimes, and even if...
