macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5826 Posts	Posted 06/29/2013 9:58 pm Souvenir medals of the Chinese Zodiac, most likely not silver. Report this Post to the Staff

This year (2013)is the Year of Snake. Next year is Horse...and so on. Of course, it can't be silver. Report this Post to the Staff
