Al-JOUF, 29 October 2004 — A Saudi newspaper yesterday reported the discovery of what it called a rare coin with unique features that belonged to an ancient civilization. The paper said the coin had an inscription in an unknown language that was not English. It described the coin as having a palm tree with eight branches, a woman sunbathing, a ship and a castle with a dome. According to the newspaper, the coin belonged to an ancient civilization that flourished in Al-Jouf. The strange thing is that the “strange” coin, which the paper claimed had an inscription in an unknown language, had Puerto Rico inscribed clearly on it. The coin is believed to have been left behind by one of the tourists visiting the area and does not belong to any ancient civilization as claimed by the newspaper. |

Its a shame this didn't pan out. I sort of liked the idea of ancient civilizations suntanning themselves on coins. It might have finally solved the historical mystery of when and who began the practice of coin toss " heads or tails"

The Saudi paper must have published an AP or NY Slimes article.

.....strange language indeed. Every sentence is prefixed with "yo-yo-yo"...and ends with "knowwaddamean"?

Those crazy Saudis If there ever was an attack from a "50 foot Woman from outer space", I would think that Saudi Arabia would be the one ‘Alien Civilization’ that would be in great danger.

LOL! An Army of Darkness reference from someone with Groo in their screenname - too cool!
