been found, having, instead of the usual edge-lettering "2 * *", the Dutch
edge-lettering "GOD * ZIJ * MET * ONS *". The explanation for this phenomenon is the same as before with the Austrian
2 euro coin with the wrong edge-lettering: Blanks are manufactured centrally
for a variety of Mints. Blanks are produced including the milling and the
edge-lettering. Lots of blanks for different Mints are kept separately, of
course, but accidents do occur. And in the present case some blanks from a
lot produced for the Dutch Mint have ended up in a lot of blanks produced
for the French Mint. 12. Bi-metallic hypothetical U.S.coin... by Michael Ayrapetov, USA I receive message from Virginia she made a design for a hypothetical
