Time to change the definition of "coin rotation"
Since the Euro people have now accepted the inevitable
and started having coins with zero rotation between obverse and reverse, instead of the ugly and counterintuitive 180 degrees, that leaves the US as the only major country with that silly system. I suggest therefore that, in view of the fact that probably 90 percent of the world's population sees zero rotation, this should henceforth be called COIN ROTATION, and the wacky 180 degree system can be called something else. By the way, what is the origin of the 180 degree thing? |
