Sap Moderator Australia 16862 Posts	Posted 03/27/2009 06:28 am Sorry, but this coin is KM# 888b.1 (no mintmark = Paris mint) and made of aluminium. KM 888a is made of aluminium-bronze, which is an alloy with a brassy, golden-yellow colour. 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
