Since Euro is a word in several languages, I will count it as a separate language for this challenge no matter what country's euro you post. Makes five points for me then.  |

Nice specimen addition! I can't count the points for bee reference though, because I didn't include flowers in the criteria. That would be too general.
Quote:
Bears any reference to bees, their hives, combs or honey = 3 points Please take into consideration  You should use the right punctuation ( :) not (,) In order to specify exactly what you mean instead of (,) which changes everything. From: Merriam-Webster's Dictionary and Thesaurus.(USA) To bear: *To have relevance or a valid connection (pertain)* Bears any reference to bees : their hives, combs or honey . Should be written like this :  The colon ( : ) is a punctuation mark consisting of two equally sized dots centered on the same vertical line. A colon precedes an explanation or an enumeration, or list. Edited by Dorado

Even with that match @cmj, I'd still like to get some style points for this bimetallic Axumite unit dating to between 525 and 550 AD. More info at this previous CCF thread: http://goccf.com/t/308373  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I couldn't find the 5-point coin anyway, so here's the 4-point one...   West African States, 250 francs CFA, 1996. Paris mint. Bimetallic - 1 point Has a bee on it - 3 points Total - 4 points You might be asking where the bee is. I tried to zoom up on it as much as the new crop tool allowed me...  ...it's that blurry spot in the center. I know it's a bee because it's supposed to be a bee - it's the Paris mint privy mark for the year 1996 (the only year when this type was made with this privy mark). |

I'd still like to get some style points... Style points gotten! I love the variety. @Dorado What I wrote is correct for what I intended. Your suggestion... Quote:
Bears any reference to bees: their hives, combs or honey . ...is not correct because "bees" comes before the colon, therefore excluding it directly from the criteria leaving only "hives, combs or honey." Bees are certainly included and that's why there is no colon. In the end, I didn't say that anything which relates to bees counts. That's why I specified what counts: bee(s), beehive(s), honeycomb(s) and/or honey. Flowers do not count and never did. I hope that is clear enough. @chafemasterj Well done on the match! It makes my job easier.  I suppose I will let this this play out another day to see of anything interesting pops up.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
