<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DEA, post: 7856864, member: 90140&quot;]Okay, I gotta ask.&nbsp; Sorry.&nbsp; How&#039;d that Republic of Mexico get there?&nbsp; Post <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-coin-uno-or-follow-the-leader-game-world-coins-edition.288303/page-400#post-7856191" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-coin-uno-or-follow-the-leader-game-world-coins-edition.288303/page-400#post-7856191">#7982</a>?&nbsp; We had either Philippines or 1944.&nbsp; Did I miss something?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In a poor attempt to follow up coin_nut&#039;s sweet rupee, I will post this 1945 (year 12) Manchurian (or Manchoukuo) fen.&nbsp; It&#039;s pretty interesting but poorly struck.&nbsp; I would have to guess if struck any better it would be destroyed.&nbsp; It&#039;s supposedly made of magnesite fiber, but I don&#039;t fully understand.&nbsp; Numista (<i>see</i> <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22469.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22469.html" rel="nofollow">https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22469.html</a>) states &quot;magnesite fiber,&quot; but if you google magnesite, you get this explanation: &quot;Magnesite, the <b>mineral magnesium carbonate (MgCO3)</b>, a member of the calcite group of carbonate minerals that is a principal source of magnesium.&quot;&nbsp; So I&#039;m failing to grasp the &quot;fiber&quot; aspect.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1353814[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
