<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ErolGarip, post: 2867225, member: 88736&quot;]Two decades ago, in late 1990s, I was on a hand made rug collectors forum. </p><p>I just checked it now after years, yes, it is still alive, <a href="http://www.turkotek.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.turkotek.com" rel="nofollow">www.turkotek.com</a>. There, there were such talks about &quot;perfectness&quot;. More than tousand of years ago, girls weaving rugs were adding an error&nbsp; and they were doing this &quot;intentionally&quot;, because they were affraid of making their rugs &quot;perfect&quot; and those errors they depicted in the rugs intentionally were protecting against the jealous &quot;evil eyes&quot;, that was their belief and their traditions. I mean, perfectness is not a thing of our modern era, it has been throughout the all history.&nbsp; Some have been after perfectness and when they get close (like those rug weavers) they fear perfectness and they may make intentional errors. There may be such people here or there or also in the mints. But, the thing that has not changed in the long past and even today is the money. When people here are looking at the money they are looking into their details in the coins because they are viewing the coins just like any product&nbsp; and since it is more engineering product than rug like art pieces they are questioning engineering techniques in the coins and errors in them. I guess this &quot;error hunting&quot; in the coins had started by someones who were allergic to engineers, engineering and technology and it has spreaded to a part of community. Yes, there are errors also in the coin and its engineering in the mints, but, the main error about the money is not in the mint only. Lets not forget that everybody has connection with the money, it is in their responsibility of every individual. So, the main error is not in the coin design or in coin production, but, it is in its set-up. As I have been repeating over and over in this thread, the main error is in handling the money, specifically, the cent coin which is the unit of money which should be produced, but, should not (have) be(en) circulated. And, doing this is not only their duty of the mints, but, of everybody. Doing it correctly may not make us reach at the perfectness, but, may put us on that road, and no need to fear of walking on that road toward perfectness.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
