<p>[QUOTE="bwanatim, post: 788244, member: 22734"]You've got some beauties. Do you know any research about the holes in the coins, supposedly so natives without pockets could string them? I grew up in Kenya in the 1950s and 1960s and never saw anyone do that, but by then most Kenyans had modern clothing. Other countries with holed coins I've seen include New Guinea and the former Rhodesia, British West Africa and German East Africa. Don't recall seeing any in South Africa, though. Yours sure went on a trip to get to Siberia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
