[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1829238, member: 29751"]The original "ch" of tetradrachm is the letter "chi" and has a sort of guttural "ck" English sound. But, as with most things, once translated into English a bit of the original (correct) pronunciation is lost. It's only made worse in this particular case because it's being pronounced by old guys in plaid shirts with mustard stains, and suspenders who stand behind their tables at coin shows and speak with southern drawls. :D[/QUOTE]
