WOW!!!!! ("CoinCorgi", you did a contribution here after a long time, since page3 where you said a=500, b=c=d=e=f=0. That "WOW" was invented first time here in this thread by "thomas mozzillo" who probably foresaw in advance before you wrote your this informative contributive post by bringing "zero" here to the topic.) Ok, CoinCorgi, jokes aside, it seems that your interest is more interesting things, i.e. eg, "0" is more interesting than "1". Yes, so, but, to see the "0" in reality, by experience, again, you need to have "1" in your pocket first really. Once you have it, it'll tell you that the "1cent" in your pocket is also about the "existence and non-existence" beside "1" being a constant and smaller than other coins with bigger numbers. Title of that article is "Who invented Zero?"? Don't worry, it is not Erol who invented it (lol). Nobody knows if, eg, "six" was invented first before "IIIIII" (6) or if "IIIIII" was invented before "six". Similarly, nobody knows if "zero" is invented before "0" or if "0" is invented before "zero". All these become subjective things when there is "who" in the question and all these can be a subject of discussions in an academical environment. But, when it is about "money", things (numbers, their meanings, perceptions) change and it becomes in their interest of any person and all people. For example. People playing with many zeros "00000000..." in Wall Street and in mathematics faculties are much more knowledgable people about the numbers and the money than an average person on an average street, but, they are not different than the average person in that none of them has "1cent" coin their pockets. In that sense, in practice, in reality, whether they are rich or poor in money, or, rich or poor in knowledge, they all are same... Erol was not different than them all before, till some years ago... Now, with this in the hand, https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/therarest-jpg.667363/ , I can say this (with no humbleness and with no arrogance), Erol is different than them all... With this "1kurus" coin in the pocket, not only do I have "1", but also I have "0"... How so? It is so because I am not using that "1kurus" in my pocket in the economy like all other moneys are used. That's, that "1kurus" in my pocket does not obey the known definition of money. Therefore, that "1kurus" in my pocket can also be called "0kurus". (here, "kurus" can be replaced by "cent", doesn't matter, it doesn't change anything in the basic.) PS: CoinCorgi, you don't need to count the pages in this thread, technology is already developed more than you count, there is a counter in the web counting not only pages but also posts etc. These young people working in the web making are good hard working people, but, they still lack a piece in their pockets, and that missing piece is giving error404 in their webs as well.
Maybe, it is better to start everythings from zero... Maybe, it can give some frustration, some disappointment, after all. Still, you collectors&numismatists have some advantages. When you have so many coins and so much knowledge somethings must be easier for you than other people who have not dealt with the coins so much.
I think CoinCorgi is just making a point, something that is missing in this thread, that we are now on page 11 of a thread that still is without any redeeming value. I only come here to read babble until I fall alsleep, and to keep the thread going as long as friggin possible.
Let me summarize all talks in this thread for you: " " Ps: a saying from here: in a place you go, if everybody is blind, close one of your eyes.
I am already aware of... another proverb from there: you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink...
(We'll come back to the horse, later.) "green18", you had asked "what this thread is about?" (you said nothing to their answer " " of Kentucky et al. I'll answer now) Here, we are tied to One Cent...
No, I asked some folks for some 'Cliffs Notes' regarding this thread, as I didn't want to wade all the way through it from the beginning. " " was enough for me.
If " " was enough for you, then, I too joined them by summarizing " ". Ps: my PS in my first answer after my " " was not really addressed to you. It was said, by closing one of my eyes, to the blinds here...
Don't know, speaking in 'hand' here https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/therarest-jpg.667363/ if " " was not enough.
