Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 07/07/2024 6:48 pm It is "upside down" compared to regular Australian coins, but this orientation was normal or French coins, right up until the introduction of the euro. This is still the "normal" orientation for American coins, and for coins from several Latin American countries. 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
