gettingbrowned Valued Member United States 259 Posts	Posted 07/28/2008 03:16 am are these coins meant to be read upright on both sides without having to turn it? I.E. if youre looking at it heads up, when you flip it over should the date be at the bottom or at the top? Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 07/28/2008 03:29 am you'll find that American coins are unusual, in having the sides rotated. Worldwide, most coins are like the British example. An interesting exception is British gold coins, which are "upside down". Peter Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 07/28/2008 05:23 am two shillings became 10 New Pence when the Brits went decimal. That gives it a face value of 20 Seppo cents. After that, value depends on rarity, condition, etc. Which year is it ? Peter Report this Post to the Staff

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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
