<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rohumpy, post: 473308, member: 12134&quot;]Topher, If your avatar is a red poppy coin from Canada, then I am about to change my mind concerning at least that coin.&nbsp; It is very attractive.&nbsp; The use of a red poppy on a coin commemorating the armistice of 1918 is appropriate.&nbsp; The poem &quot; In Flander&#039;s Fields&quot; was very popular at the time.&nbsp; I think it mentioned poppies growing over the battlefields of Flanders.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here in the US we have a stamp issued in the late 1940&#039;s (I think) honoring Moina Michaels who was involved in the popularization&nbsp; of the use of the poppy on what was then called Armistice day, now called Veteran&#039;s day.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I will try to get one of the Canadian red poppy coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
