GCs in our village would call a copper colour piaster a bakira.

And be mindful how you pronounce it. Bakira could also mean a 'virgin'.(in Arabic. Turkish is Bakire). 'Bakır' means Copper.

Bakir = pure, untouched

Bakire = virgin

Bekar= unmarried male.

I'd hate you to make a mistake. I heard you are not fond of Bakira's.

Thanks for the little tute… that was interesting. When I was a kid my old man used to give me a bakira a day to take to school and all you could get with that was an afroza!
