tabbs Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Bzzzz. You do it just fine, thanks a lot. There will always be topics that can well be in either this or that (sub-)forum. In this particular case, since we already had a discussion about the Cyprus euro designs in the World Coin Forum, I thought it would make sense to simply post the links to the design images over there. Same thing with the news from Malta. Now the new Canadian quarter for example, I did not know about that. Just as most other news that you post here is actually news to me. But sometimes one really has a wide choice: Should an article about, say, new Finnish issues be in the World Coin Forum, Coins in the News, Finnish Coin Forums, or (Finnish) Books/Links/News? Such overlapping topics we (and pretty much every board) will always have - and I guess we can all live fine with that. Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabbs Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I'm trying to get out of it. No, pleeeze! Guess it can be a little frustrating at times, especially when there is hardly any feedback. Well, ideally everybody, or at least several members, should put some info here. My "problem" is that quite a few of my news sources are in languages other than English. But I could try and post at least some internal links (that point at World topics for example) here too ...

tabbs Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 hard to top these great Cyprus coins Yes, I have those two. Nice pieces indeed! Maybe Cyprus did not want to use the Europa and Zeus theme because that is already on the Greek €2 coins. In any case, the Kyrenia ship could look nice too, and maybe even the idol; we'll see. What I find a little disappointing is that they picked only three different designs for the eight denominations. Yes, I know, other euro countries did that too, and some (Belgium, Ireland) even have only one. But that is not an excuse especially since Cyprus's "neighbor" Greece also has eight different designs ... Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
