Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 08/12/2007 12:00 am It's a "what if" fantasy. Specifically, "What if the Viking colonists in North America had been prosperous enough to become an independent kingdom and make their own coins?". Obverse: LEIF EIRICSSON Reverse: VINLAND MONETA 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.

t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2703 Posts	Posted 08/12/2007 09:25 am As soon as I posted "reproduction", I read the legend and thought "wait, that has got to be a fantasy!". It is a fantasy based on Viking imitations of Anglo-Saxon silver pennies Here is an interesting piece on Viking coinage Thanks for posting it, fantasies are fun. Report this Post to the Staff
