<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 221682, member: 39&quot;]Thanks for the info regarding the size of these pieces, Aidan. As for Quebecois though, that is just wrong. On such coins and tokens (and also in media, etc.) French is used - pretty much the same French as in the Hexagon. Of course there may be a few country specific words in written French on either side, but that does not make the Québec French a different language.*</p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes to spoken language, there sure are regional differences. Don&#039;t know if you ever watched the movie &quot;The Full Monty&quot;; friends of mine in the US saw the original version, filmed in Sheffield (UK) ... and it was somewhat difficult for them to understand most of the (working class type) actors. The version for the German market was dubbed anyway. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I for one understand &quot;American&quot; fairly well while &quot;Australian&quot; is much more difficult. Oops, they&#039;re both English ...</p><p><br /></p><p><i>(* If for some reason a territory/community wants to make a point about its language being different, that could be(come) a different story. Think of &quot;Serbo-Croatian&quot; which used to be an official language in Yugoslavia and is now pretty much outdated.)</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
