Here is an old CCF thread that provides a complimentary perspective on these coins: https://goccf.com/t/105823 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10029 Posts	Posted 07/31/2025 6:53 pm My wife and I were told that tossing a coin into the Fountain of Trevi meant it was a guarantee you would come back to Rome again in the future. We went on to other countries on the trip. On the way home our plane detoured and landed in Rome for a stop brief enough no one got off of the plane. It worked...just not the way we would have liked.
