Coin Weights and Oddities From a Faded Page
A miscellany of curiosities on coin weights and improvised measures, noting how certain coins parallel ounces and feet. It includes playful calculations with pennies and halfpennies, a Rutland village rumor, a continental railway encounter, and a reflection on romance and novelty in modern life. The piece closes with a claim that over 1.0 hundred million pounds in diamonds have been unearthed in South African fields over recent years.
