JOE Valued Member United States 164 Posts	Posted 02/02/2009 8:50 pm This coin has me completely baffled because there is absolutely no letters on the obverse and reverse except for the "20" on the obverse and what might be an "O" on the reverse. And here is a photo to show it's size. Edited by JOE 02/02/2009 8:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 02/03/2009 06:04 am It's not a coin; you won't find it in Krause. We've seen several of these on the forum. Here's one; in that thread, member valutarick says it's a Belgian gas token ("gas" here means town gas, piped into houses to burn for heating and cooking, rather than "gas" in the American sense of petroleum for motor vehicles). But I can't find any information to back this up. 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.
