Sap Moderator Australia 16857 Posts	Posted 05/10/2009 09:37 am Coin, from the Dutch city-province of Utrecht. I believe the only copper type with the city name in Dutch rather than Latin (Trajectum) was the duit (pronounced "doyt"). Duits of 1745 should have the coat of arms of the province, a shield bisected diagonally being supported by two lions. KM#91, not particularly scarce. In some parts of the world, "not worth a duit" is a slang expression meaning "worthless" - and it originates with these coins. One can hardly say duits are "worthless" today, especially to collectors: CV probably around $5 in that condition. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
