Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 08/24/2009 06:11 am The UAE coin is a 1 dirham dated 1973 / 1393. And yes, I think it is indeed a ceremonial coffee pot. Arabic culture makes a great deal out of hospitality, and coffee is often served in a ceremonial way as a welcome to honoured guests, not entirely unlike tea is served and drunk ceremonially in China and Japan. I answered the Jordan one in your other recent thread. 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.

Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 08/25/2009 07:32 am Thanks as always Sap! I got lucky with a guess on the coffee pot, the year date is how I catalog my world coins, so now I know the album where this one goes Thanks thai-vic! I thought coin was of a different person because the side view was different from the 1975 100 Fills coin. Thanks for the assist, copy year 1984 and of the same King Report this Post to the Staff
