I need some help in the exchange rate between Quatloos and Latinum.
Anybody?

One Quatloo was equal to four Latinums, but only during that brief period
when both denominations bore the date as expressed in the Julian calendar.
At all other times the exchange rate varied according to the whim of the
Dictator on any given day. Thus you will occasionally encounter Latinums
made on 34mm gold planchets, while the contemporary Quatloo would be on a
lowly 19mm copper-washed zinc flan. Since all records were lost in a
massive fire in Prague in 488 CE, eBay sellers of these items may include
any kind of fantastic story they might conjure up, and with impunity.

I'm sorry, Cliff, but is a zorkmid not a triangular rubber coin several
parsecs on each size? I'd be surprised if you had one, let alone
several. Or was that the Ningi?

Well, sure, you can tell because it's dated 950 BC. Duh.

It's a waste of time getting the catalogs. You get the catalog, get all
excited, send in an order, and ten years later you get a reply "Sorry,
we sold all of those coins, but here is out latest catalog".

Happens every time. It's incredibly annoying.

Lol. Never a truer word spoken in jest........ :-)

Does a quatloos have a decent exchange rate against a moosloos? I'm sure
that i've got a moosloos about the hoos. I know a few people who have a
screwloos. I;'ve even been accused of having one myself, but i don;t
know where it could be.

I tried to get a Ningy the other day but the banks don't like to deal
with "fiddling small change"

Buy the book before the coin
don't forget to *READ* the book after you've bought it!
It doesn't do anything just sitting on the shelf

I used to have several marble screwloos'. But I've misplaced them
somewhere....

"I have a coin that is what I believe to be from 3 to 6 thousand years

Yes, here is a coin that will rewrite numismatic history, not to say
ancient history in general, provided that its "authentisity" can be
proven. Who knew that coinage was invented in 4,000 BC, when men still
lived in caves (as this seller apparently believes)? Or maybe only
1,000 BC?? This will surely embarrass those of us that thought that
the first Western coins were made in the 7th century B.C.

Actually, it is difficult to be sure exactly what this item is, as all
three images are of the same side. A Mexican hacienda token? Native
states India? A European charity token? The poor condition doesn't
help, and the orientation is anybody's guess. If anyone knows for
sure, please enlighten us.

It's a hern from Mars. So, this Martian goes into a store and asks,
"Anybody got change for a hern?" (apologies to the late, great Red
Skelton)

Cliff

Possibly so. Since there are two and a third zorkmids to a hern and a
fifth, and there being no way to determine the actual size of this piece,
it could be any one of a number of issues from the reign of Zod VII. In
addition, rumor has it that these coins circulated very briefly on the
Planet Houston. I recommend both qualitative and quantitative analysis to
be absolutely sure.
