Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 03/22/2007 04:29 am This Malaysian coin is the only 14-sided coin I'm aware of. I used it in my first forum quiz. But for really funky shapes, you can't beat (1) ancients and (2) emergency money. To illustrate my point, here's a piece of ancient emergency money: It's a base-silver (more like "pewter") stater of the Celtic tribes of north-western Gaul (France) circa 57 BC, struck by refugees fleeing the advancing Roman armies. Large numbers of these coins have apparently been found on the island of Jersey, just off the coast. 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
