Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 11/28/2007 7:40 pm Echizento is spot on with this one. A rechenpfennig is a kind of jeton or token, typically used as a counter on a reckoning board, or as a "gambling chip" in games of chance. These were often made in Nuremberg, Germany. This site is most excellent for identifying and dating these tokens. Bonedigger posted a similar one in this thread. 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
