No it's not a spelling mistake, I don't want to see your faces.
A fasces is a bundle of rods, bound into a cylinder and often includes an axe blade facing out. A few countries have had them on their coins, the most popular being the U.S. dime.

It's not that AJ. If we start showing faces, it would mean I would have to show mine.
Then everyone would run, screaming. LOL

Ok I'll have to have a look and see if I have any but don't think so besides the dimes.
