Buckeye Gal New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 09/21/2010 7:46 pm I'm enclosing a picture of a coin with no English writing on it that I can read. It is a 7 gram coin of a brass type metal on the inside, with a silver ring on the outside. Can anyone help? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 17012 Posts	Posted 09/21/2010 9:07 pm If you've got an unknown coin and the writing on it isn't English but still uses "normal" Western letters, you can always look the coin up on a reference list like the one here on Don's WorldCoinGallery. It doesn't help for coins like the Thai and Japanese ones you also posted recently, but it should help for coins like this one and the Turkish one you posted earlier. Don's even got a few examples that use other alphabets like Cyrillic and Armenian that can be helpful for the beginnner unfamiliar with non-Latin alphabets. 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

Here is some info about that coin type, in English, from the central bank: http://www.banxico.org.mx/billetes-...o-coins.html Christian Report this Post to the Staff
