Spider - you can find the answer to any such question as you asked here - http://www.coinfacts.com/ I would also suggets that you buy a Red Book
Mainly because if you wish to learn it is absolutely necessary. Secondly because I'm not always here.
I agree with Spider. I like him asking his questions as it gets me curious again about certain things. I recommend Spider that you just ask your questions here no matter how simple or newbish they may seem!
