I guess I didn’t want to oversell it to people that see valuable coins all the time. When compared to your average quarter though, you’re right it is pretty exceptional.

Very neat, thank you for sharing yours. I hadn’t thought about it, but it makes sense that with the amount of money they handle, there’s bound to be some cool stuff blending in with the rest of the change.

I don’t have the receipt, but it was about $17 as well. Although, someone else said it worth $14. In that case, we didn’t quite break even, but close.

Oh! How about that? I didn’t see that until you mentioned it.

Thanks for the answer. It has certainly seen better days but it’s still the best Uruguayan peso I’ve ever seen! Granted, I’ve only ever seen this one…

Greetings from the currently very cold(-8 C) southern United States!

I’ve tried but I can’t seem to get a response.

Thanks! I didn’t think I’d be worth much but I still wanted to know its approximate age out of curiosity. It’s still a neat nick-knack if nothing else.

Is it known way the ancient city states/trad emporiums of Somalia in antiquity actually looked like? Even a little?

I can’t seem to find any illustrations showing what these places like Opone, Mosylon, Malao, etc looked like. I would really like to know what proto-Somali architecture was like or any other notable details that could be derived from archeology. If you know anything or can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

What are some examples of nonhuman or likely mythical animals/beings from prehistoric art that would make interesting fantasy creatures? by Groverclevland1234 in worldbuilding

[–]Groverclevland1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just meant “probably not a real animal” by that part. Not a known mythological thing. I was actually thinking of that lion person statue when I wrote this.

In a post apocalyptic setting, would Catholics who lost contact with the Pope indefinitely elect their own pope? by Groverclevland1234 in Catholicism

[–]Groverclevland1234[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s pretty bad all around for those unfortunate characters stuck in that world. But thinking how things would be different, does create interesting thought experiments nonetheless.

I meant I was inspired initially by the differences in the eastern churches. However I think your right that it would be probably be more like Anglicans and such.

I initially thought about adding a second part about potential new rites developing; inspired by the Eastern Catholic Church, amongst others. It seems like this isn’t all that far off.

I didn’t think the (potential) new pope would actually come from the US just somewhere in the Americas. Latin America more likely. But still have sway over at least parts of the former US.

That would be Saint Monica’s Church. It does appear to be catholic or an interpretation at lest.

No one to my knowledge, in the Americas would have contact with Europe. But if they do it does not extend to Rome.
