2. Bi-metallic 10 Rupees 2009 from
India........by Muralee Kumar, India
Refering to WBCC Newsmail #659 is here more about the 10 Rupees 2009 from India India has announces its first ever Bi-metallic
issue in two different designs. These are the first ever Bi-metallic
issues of this country and India must be first country to start
bimetallic coins with double simulatanous issue.
It appears that these coins were minted few
years ago and are being released now. For collectors who collect by
year and mint, it will be big job to track all years and mint marks.
The press releases are as attachments to this
WBCC Newsmail.
This also rests to controversary about one
aborted relase being labeled as "pattern" since the issue getting
regularised will legitimise the piece under reference.

7. The Super Quiz Question 2..... by Jack Hepler, USA There are two Euro
issuing countries with names that appear similar. These 2 countries are
geographically separated by another Euro issuing country.
A: What are the names of the 2 countries? B: What is on the regular issue of the 2 Euro bimetallic coin of the country in between and what is the significance of that image? (Question suggested by Hans Bucek) Answer to Super QQ #001 In 1994, Argentina
introduced a Bi-metallic One Peso coin for general circulation. In
1995, these pesos were minted in three other countries for use in
Argentina. One of these mints produced large quantities of coins with
an error, and these coins were put into circulation along with the
correct coins. What was the error and which country produced these
coins? (Die rotation is not considered an error for the purpose
of this question).
Answer. The error was an incorrect spelling of Provincia. It was misspelled as Provingia. The country minting the coins was the United Kingdom.
