Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 06/09/2007 03:22 am What a coincidence. I had never heard "Spot On" before, and then tonight while clicking through the TV chanels, there was an Aussie group which used it. Report this Post to the Staff
Brissyboy Valued Member Australia 335 Posts	Posted 06/20/2007 10:26 am Another interesting aspect of the Queen of Australia "story" is that Queen Elizabeth II is also Queen of Queensland. Queensland is one of the founding State of the Commonwealth of Australia. Under the State Constitution, the Queen or King as the case maybe, is Sovereign of Queensland. The Queensland State Governor is the Queen's representative in Queensland. Report this Post to the Staff
goldfinger Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 06/20/2007 6:47 pm While our southern friends have much to commend them I have always be bemused by their reluctance to drive on the RIGHT side of the road. Perhaps it has to do with their favorite beverage? (8-) I do know that in spite of a familiarity with the metric system there is no real proof they are communists. Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 06/25/2007 2:31 pm G'day Coin Boy, QE2 is Head of State of 16 countries. I don't know how many of these countries feature her on their coins. You have the start of an interesting collection. In Australia, we are now using the fifth portrait of the Queen on our coins, but some other countries have used images not used here. And, what are "ASE's and AGE's" ?

Coin Girl Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 07/16/2007 02:03 am Hi, I liked reading all these things about the Queen. History isn't my favorite subject in school, but I do like it. I wondered why so many countries had coins with the Queen on them, and now I know why. Bye. Report this Post to the Staff

Peter in Oz" Hi Peter, I had to ask about ' ASE' once, I was advised it stands for American Silver Eagle, so I'm surmising that AGE may stand for American Gold Eagle, but I could be way off track there. Hopefully one of the US members may correct me if I'm wrong. I was hoping you'd get an answer from one of them, but it's been a while since you asked so I thought I'd chime in with what little info I had. Report this Post to the Staff

Coin Boy New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 07/21/2007 01:48 am Hi toast, I just now saw your question. I am not at my house right now, and don't have my coin collection with me. I think the countries are Australia, Canada, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, and one or two others. I will try and remember to look when I get back to my coin collection.

Scottishmoney Pillar of the Community United States 597 Posts	Posted 07/26/2007 09:27 am Does chuffed mean the same as chaffed does in Britain? The funny thing about 'Strine is that we got a taste of it with the Crocodile Dundee movies and the Tourism Australia ads, which BTW were wildly popular here in the States. But over anything else, my preferred venue to partake of a visit of is the Sydney Harbour Bridge, a wonder you can walk over down under. Report this Post to the Staff
