<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 8085237, member: 77704&quot;]I remember my grade nine English class, (not my favorite subject) we took the &quot;Merchant of Venice&quot;. I remember the merchant Antonio borrowed 3000 Dukats from a money lender (Shylock) Back then I was just getting into collecting Canadian small change. So the term &quot;Dukat&quot; was foreign to me. Now, I have over 400 AV Dukats/ multiples/ fractional coins in my collection. Also I know that the City State of Venice was ruled by Doges, and the money in circulation where zecchini/ fractions down to a Quarter upto really big 105 zecchini. So, he should have borrowed 3000 Zecchini/ but since it was a big amt. 300 ten zecchini&nbsp; gold coins. Here is one of mine from Antonios era Add your coins where movies/ books got it wrong....[ATTACH=full]1404662[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1404663[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
