(I admit that I usually get attracted to my coins due to their animal-reverses and/or their overall eye-appeal, so at times I am a bit dense when it comes to the culture and/or social-interactions that were going on during the times of my coins ... errr, or even their geographical locations) </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">=&gt; in my defense, I do plan on &quot;restudying&quot; all of my coins in 5 or so years after I&#039;m retired and have nuthin&#039; but sweet-time on my hands (but for the moment, I am already stretching my coin-time when compared against my work-time, home-time, friend-time and most importantly, my wife-time!!) ... </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">Question =&gt; do these next few coins fit into this thread, or are they worlds apart?
