[QUOTE="Two Dogs, post: 2993638, member: 85671"]Hopefully I understand the theme of this game... My thought is that there is a glaring omission; Napoleon Bonaparte! I would put the [B]Napoleon 20 franc gold coin [/B]on the list and argue that it should hold a place high on the list. Think about this; besides Napoleon's resume as we see in the history books, if he had not been hard up for cash due to his thirst for conquests, he would not have agreed to the Louisiana Purchase. And if not for the Louisiana Purchase, North America would look more today as Europe does with a "New England," a "New France" and a "New Spain."
