Just about everybody has their own personal definitions&nbsp; for a very large percentage of every word there is. Fragment, chip, bit, fractional, all of these words and a great many more are used to describe coins, granted only parts of coins but sometimes entire coins that are parts of a larger whole. </p><p><br /></p><p>When we use words people tend to visualize things as to what those words mean to them. But quite often, what they are visualizing and what you are actually talking about are very different things. Not always of course, but it sure happens a lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
