<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clinker, post: 1523772, member: 6229&quot;]This is a two-part trivia. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In 2000 Macedonia struck a 1 Denar coin to<i> commemorate</i> the National Bank of Macedonia. Both sides of the coin bear the bank&#039;s legend and one side carries the bank&#039;s logo design (an ancient Byzantine coin). The opposite side shows a 16th century ornamented cross.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. The interest in a bank <i>commemorative</i> was non existent, so later on in 2000 the government announced the coin was really struck to <i>commemorate</i> the 2000th year of Christianity. This coin is pictured in 2007 World Coins 1901 - 2000 as KM9.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. In 2001 an interesting thing happened. During one of the first few months of striking the regular 1 Denar coins (KM2) the cross reverse of the 2000 <i>commemorative</i> was accidently stamped on one of the blank&#039;s sides while the reverse of the new regular 1 Denar (denomination side) was impacted on the other side resulting in a beautiful &quot;mule&quot;with two reverses.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you always wanted to own a &quot;mule&quot;, but found them to be too expensive. Here&#039;s your chance to own one for less than $10. Now, I don&#039;t own one myself (&quot;mules&quot; are not in my collecting interests), Whether you just want to see a picture of it or are truly interested in owning one you can click on <a href="http://www.joelscoins.com/oops.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.joelscoins.com/oops.htm" rel="nofollow">www.joelscoins.com/oops.htm</a> (scroll down to the Macedonia coins).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Clinker[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
