It's a good thing they didn't have parking meters or slot machines in the year 50 BC cause no two coins were the same shape.

Kafenes,that is because coins were struck by the old hand-craft method where the planchet (the blank piece of metal that the coin is struck on) is placed on the bottom die,which was affixed to an anvil,& the upper die was hit with a hammer in the same way that a blacksmith makes a horseshoe.

The oldest coin I ever had was a sixpence minted during the early part of Elizabeth the 1st reign, I think owning a coin from Cleopatra's time is wonderful!!! Lucky you!!

But he has to change it into Euros on Jan 1st...

Bill,I don't think that she wants to sell her coin for any price,& certainly not for a few measly Euros.

Er ~ I thought we were talking about the Cleopatra coin not a poxy sixpence ~ Oh ~ I'm reliably informed that Kafenes is a large hairy man and not a she ~ a bit of a gorilla I'm told

Funny as it may seem s~ h~ e~ are the first three letters of the word sheep ~ are you sure you don't have a meaningful relationship with your friends in the field ~~ now don't be sheepish about this aida you can tell us as it seems to be praying on your mind.

Bill,that stereotype about New Zealanders just goes to show how ignorant you are when it comes to your knowledge about New Zealand.

If you think that I am taking it is a joke,please let me assure you that I DO NOT find it funny at all!

As I said in a previous post if you are an indication of a typical New Zealander then I have absolutely no intention of ever visiting a country with such hateful and bigoted views.

Now to your comment on ignorance and what you may or may not find funny .

Since you have been a member of this forum virtually every post you have made has contained vicious and hateful remarks towards Catholics ~ the Pope ~ gay men ~ lesbians ~ non royalists etc etc and you have referred to just about everybody disagreeing with you as a brain dead wanker ~~ now I ask you is that the way a 31 year old supposedly grown up man should speak and act.

Do you think that those people you are attacking have no feelings ~ do you not respect their right to live their life as they wish without being continually told that they will be condemned to the fiery lakes of hell and that they are wankers.

If someone retaliates you run off to Admin and complain I don't find most of your comments funny at all ~ in fact I find you a sick individual that cannot stand anybodies views if they differ from yours.

The fact that you have been removed from so many forums really speaks for it's self ~ in fact apart for your interest in colonial Cyprus coins I can't really see what you are doing on the Cyprus forum except to spread your hateful and bigoted views.

Yes we have taken the piss out of you ~~ what on earth do you expect ~ you have hardly been innocent yourself .

Let me also assure you that apart from the entertainment value ( makes a change to the continual fighting ) most on this forum do not agree with your comments but see you for the bigoted fool you really are .

Oh as it's almost Christmas it wouldn't be fair to hold a grudge so I'll wish you a merry Christmas Aida and a wanking good New Year ~~ see you at mass Christmas eve.

Bill ~~ who's not Gay ~ not Catholic or a lesbian ( quite fancy that idea ) but respects others wishes to be so if they want to

I thought you are a humorous kind of a guy...

Here's a thread that will be of interest to the coin collectors here.It is about the coins of Cyprus,which have been issued at various times since 1879.

The currency systems have been as follows;

9 Piastres = 1 Shilling & 20 Shillings = 1 Pound (1879-1955).

1,000 Mils = 1 Pound (1955-1982).

100 Cents = 1 Pound (1983-2007).

100 Euro-Cents = 1 Euro (from 1.1.2008).

Going through things/boxes in my loft at home (UK) I came across a mid 60s 250 mil note in 1st class condition, it came home with me when I was posted back to the UK in 1967.
