<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2715265, member: 19463&quot;]It describes the coins bearing the keywords.&nbsp;&nbsp; Rather than sister cities, I suspect it was more like what we wold have today if the Olympics were not protected by their copyright of that term we would have all sorts of contests using that term to indicate a high level contest.&nbsp; I never understood how the IOC was able to register rights on a name they lifted in the 1890&#039;s from the original Greeks who abandoned the idea in 393 AD on the order of Theodosius I who found the games to be too Pagan for refined Romans.&nbsp; I guess if you abandon something for 1500 years you can&#039;t claim it as intellectual property unless it is a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
