<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1269075, member: 39&quot;]Another interesting story and &quot;showcase&quot;, Clinker. Thank you! And ... somehow it looks odd when the U is replaced with V in languages other than Latin. So &quot;E PLVRIBVS VNVM&quot; is fine (from my point of view anyway) while &quot;TRVST&quot; seems strange.</p><p><br /></p><p>In some of the cases you show, the V has a more or less rounded bottom. So it might as well be a U from a stylish font. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The Connecticut commem shows what I mean: If you look at the words &quot;Trust&quot; and &quot;Connecticut&quot;, the lower end of the U is somewhat round, unlike the lower ends of the W in &quot;We&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mixing uppercase and lowercase characters, as we do in regular texts, seems quite normal to me. On coins it is not exactly common because this way - especially if the characters go along the rim of a coin - the text looks less balanced. LONGER TEXTS IN ALL CAPS ARE USUALLY FROWNED UPON AS THEY ARE HARD TO READ (except of course when it comes to software EULAs, hehe) But if a word or two are placed horizontally, as in the last examples, I would not even notice it ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
