What is KM?
English is the closest there is to a universal language, thanks in part to the British Empire, and probably American economic strength too....
Russian hackers? :D
Wow! That's an impressive set.
Yes! Which is a good thing. A very good thing!
I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit I'm not familiar with this series. Are they circulation coins, or NCLT?
