But the sans-seriffed lettering is definitely not characteristic of mediaeval coins - which makes me think a fantasy of some kind, or at least severe tooling. 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
