Babel is right. I'd be amused to see how a few verses from Shakespeare translate.  The Tsar Nicholas coin is in good condition. I don't read Russian, but is it (or was it) a circulating coin or commemorative (the gold plating leads me to think it is the latter). |

Anyone interested in this "rare" US "dollar" might also be interested in a bridge I have for sale.  Reminds me of the infamous "racketeer" nickel of 1883. The word "cents" under the "V" (for five) was omitted from the coin. Shysters gold plated the nickel and tried (and often succeeded) to pass them as $5 gold coins. Somebody at the mint got smart and added the "cents" later that year. |

I don't know about the coin, but she's a knock-out!  I've traveled in and through Quebec a lot and if there is one place on Earth which has the highest percentage of good looking women, it's Quebec. She represents Quebeçois womanhood very well. She can sell me coins any day, all day long!   |

They say the same about Parisian women But the last time me and my wife and friends were in Paris the most astonishing beautifull girls we saw turned out to speak with a male voice And I bet that in real life token girl wears a double Louis d'or instead of that very small token |

Wow I did never realise how close they are to the Belgian situation We got like 6 million flemish speaking and 4 million french speaking Belgians . Those flemish have been trying to seperate for like 30 years because tax money mostly flows in one direction and that is from flanders to wallonia . In flanders all road indications have to be in flemish whilst in wallonia they have to be in french whilst in brussels they have to be in two languages . ( I am conveniently forgetting the german belgians cause it is allready complicated enough ) The walloons would like to be french ; some dream to be french but their lack of money seems to make them unintresting to france . When I was young and somebody spoke to me in french and he was belgian I would conveniently forget all the french I ever learned ; however when he or she was real french from france I would suddenly be as fluent in french as any flemish they ever met At university and at work some of my best friends were frenchspeaking but as a community they are the other side that is the adversary  |

). I have several French-Canadian friends; get them out of Quebec and they laugh at their own provincialism and themselves, but admit they still consider themselves French above all else.
