Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 09/13/2008 12:02 am It's not a "coin", in the sense of being issued by a government. It's a religious medal; apparently these pieces, with St. Joseph and crossed keys, are popular in the Philippines, where they're known as "anting anting". I assume the "1101" is there to try to fool you into thinking it's really old. 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
