<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 8388844, member: 128351&quot;]A Flag Day? I had to ask Wikipedia for this. There is no such thing in my country, but I could see there are many others with a Flag Day: in Italy, Sweden, Portugal, etc... In my garden, next to the gate, there is a tall metallic mast with a nylon rope to hoist the flag, a real serious thing, like in barracks or embassies. I don&#039;t know who put it there, probably a previous owner of my house. I never used it: here it&#039;s not like in the USA, people don&#039;t hoist the national flag at their front doors (or only Tibetan or Portuguese flags, I don&#039;t know why...). </p><p><br /></p><p>Coins with standards, vexilla?
