Sap Moderator Australia 16181 Posts	Posted 10/30/2024 5:59 pm I only knew the answer to this one because it's been posted on the forum numerous times before. Since it often turns up in mixed foreign coin lots, it has no English/Western script on it, and it's not actually a coin, it's one of those items that quite frequently causes confusion. Old threads with one include: http://goccf.com/t/60944 http://goccf.com/t/341548 http://goccf.com/t/377130 http://goccf.com/t/456733 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.
