I have a strange coin with a twenty on it. The date is 1894. On the obverse there is a coat of arms that I don't recognise. What country is this from? How much is it worth? Picture below vvvvv

Willaim,

That's Austrian, a 20 Heller.

Only 1914 is worth over £3.00 in fine condition, and that isn't Fine. Most of them are under £1 Fine.

hmm a person who's fussy about grammar, i'm going to have to pull you up too when you make a mistake, you will do, it's only a matter of time...

(don't bother pulling mine up, you'll be here all day).

No, it's just mixing up a possessive adjective with a verb is......unforgivable!

Yep, Oli is a nitpick. You better watch out, Oli, because next time you make a mistake, I'll show you up, with Sylvesters help. After all, it will happen eventually...

Doubtless it will happen but the mistake won't be as repugnant as yours

On the theme of spelling mistakes...

Researchers at Cambridge University say that the human mind is able to identify most anagrams fairly quickly as long as the first and last letters stay the same.

The next step would be to keep the correct begining and end letters and just fill txe sxxxe wxxh x's!

That would be confusing.

Grammar rearrange we should do, always nice to main verb at end put.
