Title: Ireland James Joyce commem error
Post by: RenaL on April 11, 2013, 02:16:22 AM

Just saw an article on BBC regarding an error on the latest Irish commemorative 10 Euro coin (http://www.centralbank.ie/press-area/press-releases/Pages/CentralBankofIrelandissuesJamesJoyceCollectorCoin.aspx).

Apperantly the engraver Google'd James Joyce quote from an unofficial webpage:)

Makes you wonder how someone could make such a monumental stuff up.
That's an ugly coin too.
