He had ALSO accidently written 'coin' and value '$300'....Next the person working in the post office obviously had failed Geography at school and sent the package off to Thailand!...After about '4 months' the packet arrived at my door....It had stamps on it from Thailand, China, Indonesia and Singapore!.......It had been cut open and re-taped!......But inside I was really surprised to see the coin! and someone had added a note in English....Sorry sir but this coin is not worth $300....It made me smile!
