[QUOTE="SeptimusT, post: 5163015, member: 91240"][ATTACH=full]1210117[/ATTACH] I hope no one will mind a bit of shameless self-promotion, but I wanted to share my new publication with my Cointalk friends.

It’s probably a real bore (:yawn:) for most anyone, especially if they aren't familiar with these types of coins, but I am still proud of it.
