How many other coins am I mis-pronouncing?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Do I sound like an idiot, when I call them Duck-its?&nbsp; Maybe it&#039;s Du-Cats...&nbsp; Because I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever had a verbal conversation about them before.&nbsp; Anyone else ever run into this problem?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
