Playing, or watching?  Where in Wales did you go? |

Well, the Loony had some unexpected uses! A Peacekeeper edition of the Canadian Loony was minted in 1995 and those of us CF members that were deployed to be a member of UNDOF and had loonies in their possession could take them to a jeweler in Damascus who would cut out around the figures on the coin, add a ring for a necklace, and finally gold plate the coin. I had a few done and gave them away to my Engineer buddies in Canada but I made sure to keep one for myself.  |

Our team, the Brandon Barbarians, played five games in two weeks. Four matches in England and one in Wales. Sorry, can't remember the town in Wales. If it helps, the name had about 6 "y's", quite a few "k's", a few "w's", and I don't believe any vowels. And it wasn't pronounced any where's near how it was spelled. It was very hilly and there was a closed coal mine nearby... and always cloudy or raining. Does that help?😁

My late Father in law used to tape pennies to his cardboard target as the Bulls eye.

That pretty much describes any town in North or South Wales. There are no vowels in Welsh as we know them! The ddoouubbllee letters are their equivalent. They even have a separate sound than the same letter as a single. "DD" isn't "dudu", but "TH" as in "thee". Double "LL" is as near as you can pronounce it in English, "aghllhh", a lot like clearing your throat! Hence the "a Chluchinn an a Clachinn up, in The valleys"  There's a saying "Up in The Valleys": "If you can see the hills across the Valley it's going to rain. If you can't see the hills across the Valley it's already raining"!

I have enough language issue with Scottish. No need to add Welsh to the mix.

In Canada, the one cent coin was last minted in 2012. 2 versions were minted, one was copper plated zinc, the other copper plated steel. I stashed away several mint rolls of each variety.
