WHEN will they learn that the world is a trifle larger than a few isolated states and their idiosyncrasies...... GOOD LUCK!!!!!! I always measure in ET (Elephant Trunks): 1 German coin = 1.2245 ET......

Bernhard, may I suggest that you change your question to, "Could someone from the New World kindly *send* me some quarters and dimes so someone from the Old World will know how big they are?" if enough people from the list comply, you might get enough money to buy some new aroids.

From: StroWi at t-online.de (StroWi) on 2001.04.26 at 02:39:43(6272) Thanks Phil and Thanks George! Compared with Wilberts advice yours seem to be easier to handle - I don't have a standard ET to measure with...... Cheers, Bernhard.

I never had a coin of that diameter in my purse nor heard of it (probably don't know the right persons...) ..... +More BTW: ET sounds a good dimension for measuring Amorphophallus petioles; hope the petioles of mine will grow that big one day.....
