<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 25737560, member: 91609&quot;]On a related note, my granddaughter started taking a French class this year.&nbsp; So, I recently gave her a 1792 2Sol (about the size of a U.S. half) which I picked up years ago for some reason (maybe anticipating this exact scenario?).&nbsp; I explained to her that it circulated about the same time Ben was ambassador to France, and he most likely handled this coin at some time (that&#039;s my story &amp; I&#039;m sticking to it!).&nbsp; I think I may have lit a fire. (Unfortunately, my American coins didn&#039;t do it.)&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>(Spark, sorry to hi-jack your thread for this story!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
