Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 06/15/2010 9:23 pm Item #687 on this page reports to be a Quote: Cairo Parking Meter token (not tramway as first thought) Cog & 3 shields rev. rev. Arabic Aluminium 23mm. Here's their pic. The "three shields" are actually three Arabian-style arches, with three minarets in silhouette and "al-Qahira" (Cairo) in Arabic written underneath. The same symbolism and stylized script can be seen on the flag of Cairo. "Al-Qahirat" is also the Arabic word on the left side of the thunderbolt symbol on the token. 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
