<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sunflower, post: 836127, member: 23219&quot;]I have a question about etiquette when gifting a particular Phillipine coin to a bride from the Phillipines. I might have another need to present a gift. Should I go with the coin, or kitchen towels? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is the story: </p><p>A friend recently married a gal from the Phillipines (an internet bride). I was wanted to gift them a coin as part of their gifts. The coin I had first considered was the Phillipine 50 Centares - 1947s MacArthur Commemerative BU. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since I was afraid that the coin might be controversial, I decided to not include it. I ended up sending a silver coin from Greece, 30 drachmai, 1947 Wedding Comm. BU. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So my question is, do you think the Phillipine 50 Centares, MacArthur Comm, would have been fine to send? The groom is a veteran of USMC, so I felt he might appreciate the MacAurthur part, but I was not sure if the Bride would be sensitive to it (occupation). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks, </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>?Read more: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t97471-2/#post836115#ixzz0iBMOUeAT" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t97471-2/#post836115#ixzz0iBMOUeAT">http://www.cointalk.com/t97471-2/#post836115#ixzz0iBMOUeAT</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
