[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 144847, member: 112"][SIZE="5"]ROTFL !![/SIZE] Well when I start singing the song - then you'll know for sure :D OK Dude, the first coin was a bit more expensive than that, but not much. It's a ducat, minted in the Netherlands at the Holland mint in 1595, it's graded AU58 by NGC. It's struck in .986 gold and weighs 3.5 grams, is about 21 mm. The first example of this coin was issued in 1586 and it is still being struck today - same design, same weight, same gold. Only the Venetian ducat was struck for a longer period of time.
