historic currency equivalence
Some time ago someone -- IIRC it was Blair -- posted a url where one could
compare today's currencies to historic ones, for example, how many 1920 Argentine pesos equated to today's 1000 Argentine pesos? I remember noting down the url but I can't seem to find it. I tried using postal rates for ordinary letters (1905 and 2005) for comparison but it doesn't make any sense at all. If anyone remembers the url, could you please repost? TIA. -- Tony Vella Ottawa, Ontario, Canada http://www.amedialuz.ca/ |

historic currency equivalence
Not that I can answer your question, but today I ran into a 50c coin, that
came from Turkey. The strangest thing was that it was a Euro-cent coin -- I didn't even know that Turkey had joined Euro-Paradise. Does anyone know when this might have taken place?

Hi Mette
Turkey does not have the Euro, very strange. Can you post a scan? Thanks Jan "Mette" schreef in bericht k...

historic currency equivalence
Hi Mette.
Turkey is not officially part of the EU - their application was submitted in 2004, if I remember correctly, and at the time it was estimated it would take ten years for a final decision. The Cyprus situation, I believe, was mentioned as a stumbling block. I read somewhere that many "Turkish Euros" were made privately as trial balloons, but I have no idea by whom. Probably this is what you got your hands on. Hope this helps. -- Tony Vella Ottawa, Ontario, Canada http://www.amedialuz.ca/ "Mette" wrote in message k...

Mette Unofficial Patterns On a number of previous occasions, especially before major coinage changes, pattern coins have been produced as a design exercise or to test public opinion. Many of these have been privately produced. A privately produced pattern set of British euro coins has already been produced, and met with intense demand, despite almost negligible marketing. Original priced at around €40, these have changed hands for over €250 on e-bay. We have not yet seen any suggested designs for Turkish euro coins, but... Watch this space! |

"Jan Doggen" skrev i en meddelelse ... Hi Mette Turkey does not have the Euro, very strange. Can you post a scan? Unfortunately not. It will be a very bad scan because of the coin's poor condition. However, I read the text as "Cumhuryieti Tûrkiye" and can also slightly see the effegy of some Turkish leader, presumably Kemal Atatürk. On the front side there is a star, the halfmoon, the number 50, and the word "yeni kurus". Minted 2006. Very difficult to see the details without a magnifier. Mette "Mette" schreef in bericht k...
