But, I don't see the infamous blue dress. hee hee hee

Awful memories. I traveled in AR for many years when he was Gov and later Pres. What a national embarrassment.

The later years I learned a great deal about things around Mena and Nella.

About Seth Ward. About the McDougals. About a lot of really vial players. And several spooks, Barry Seal, Felix Rodriguez and others.

The coin is clearly a counterfeit. 14 is XIV, not X1111 :>)slaves would not have been fluent in Latin”

'...act depicted in coin'

Wow... does it mean there are a set of coins each with a distinct sexual act? Why didn't they find the other? It's like those card games...

You have no idea what the X1111 means. You just assume it was supposed to mean 14, when it might have some other meaning entirely. Read the last comment in the original article where the woman from London says she believes it could be a theatre token, with the X1111 being the theatre aisle where the patron’s seat was located. As good a possibility as any. Also, you don’t think that after many months of cleaning the coin and checking it out, they wouldn’t know if it was a counterfeit or not? This coin is real, or they wouldn’t be putting it on display at the museum.

Or there's this circulating coin from Thasos in Greece in the 5th century BC.

More examples here.

Adults only. It's not a site for those in the workplace.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Romans frequently used both XIV and XIIII for 14 as on this coin,

struck for the 14th Legion.

Yes. See the link in post #28.

[flaglady47]

There is a new thread now saying the Romans used both XIV and XIIII interchangeably on their coins, for the 14th Roman Legion.

This thread has been very educational for me. And I thought Playboy "invented" ponr...

One night with Venus, a lifetime with Mercury.

Thanks!

Speaking that, I found out that Powerball has gone up to two bucks a week, minimum jackpot to $40 million, and I’m not sure, but I don’t think they take multidraw wagers any longer.

I’m not going to make a crude joke about why the modern UK coin has just the head of the queen on it. Dang, I did it anyway. Too bad I’ve already clicked “Post”.

You can always ask Prudence to remove it.....
