<p>[QUOTE=&quot;atlantic3009, post: 1476039, member: 38863&quot;]Hello, glad to find this Romanian coins thread. </p><p>Just want to point out that the communist era coins above with the inscription &quot;ROMINA&quot; are not errors, but reflect a variation of the ortography in that era. Coins from 1952 to 1954 have the spelling &quot;ROMANA&quot; than from 1955 until 1960 the spelling is changed into &quot;ROMINA&quot;. After 1966 the spelling comes back to normal &quot;ROMANIA&quot;.</p><p>I guess this variation can be explained through the soviet control in Romania, that was twisting our history: ROMANA was too resemblant to the Romans and our Latin origin (which the Soviets never liked).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
