Peckris Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 http://tinyurl.com/72rug2xLOL I did a reply with the URL to Rowntree's site, but I withdrew it - I thought it shouldn't be the first reply. 1 Quote
Boomstick Posted January 20, 2012 Author Posted January 20, 2012 Boom boom! I do like good mint actually - I used to get through packets of Extra Strong when I was a kid. Book looks good seuk, might get a copy for the commute. It's a bit tangential, but I can recommend Newton and the Counterfeiter as a good coin-related read. Quote
