Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 01/08/2010 09:50 am It's a copy of an ancient Greek coin; we see them every once in a while on the forum. They were mailed out as a promotional giveaway for a Reader's Digest book on ancient Greece. See here for the most recent thread on this "coin". You're in Australia? All the others I've seen here on the forum have been from America; I wasn't aware they reached this far. The only one I've ever seen here was sent to me as a gag gift by a CU forum member. 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
