<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sakata, post: 3074915, member: 23778&quot;]Am I the only one who doesn&#039;t know whether to laugh or cry at the contents of this month&#039;s World Coin News.&nbsp; Here is a sample of the &quot;coins&quot; described therein.</p><p><br /></p><p>A half ounce silver 50 cents colorized Daffy Duck from Tuvalu.</p><p>A heart-shaped gold-plated silver 10 Yuan from China.</p><p>Four colorized 50 pence Beatrix Potter characters from Britain.</p><p>A diamond-studded 10oz gold coin from Australia.</p><p>A domed one ounce silver $5 from Australia.</p><p>A totem pole shaped &quot;coin&quot; from Palau.</p><p><br /></p><p>Who here really thinks of these are coins?&nbsp; To me a coin is something to be used in commerce, usually a flat disk but occasionally polygonal.&nbsp; None of the above would ever be considered as something to be used for a purchase and none of them is commemorating an event.&nbsp; They are nothing more than expensive trinkets designed to dupe people out of their hard earned real coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
