Sap Moderator Australia 16844 Posts	Posted 10/23/2006 8:59 pm Hi again Marc. Looking for this thread? It had been archived, which is probably why you couldn't find it. A farthing is a quarter of a penny (word derived from "fourthling"), or half a halfpenny. Calling it "gunmoney" isn't entirely accurate, either. Gun money derives from the same period in time (James II attempted revolt in Ireland) but the term is more commonly used for the brass shillings, halfcrowns and crowns issued as 'tokens' to be redeemed for real silver coins once James had won. 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

Marc New Member Ireland 34 Posts	Posted 11/14/2006 3:56 pm sold that coin for 76euros . I reckon it was a good deal for the guy who bought it. He was a Limerick man though so I'm glad of that much. Report this Post to the Staff
