That's not always true, but it can be. Even with our modern coinage, the reverse was often the hammer die. Same was true with older coinage as well.
Yup, and so does everybody else. Worthless paper they call it, backed by nothing they say. But it's still what everybody uses to buy that precious...
Mmmmm mmmmm - purrrrrrrrrrrty ! :eating:
Bruce my guess is that stuff has been on there for years and years, so it's gonna take a while. Patience ;)

:eek: :eek: God forbid !!
If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times - there is nothing on this planet, or any other for that matter, that has intrinsic value....
