Just saw this article in the local newspaper, The Cockburn City Herald.
Anyone have a spare $70,000 laying around?

I read somewhere that you don't actually own the coins. They belong to the state. You just own the rights to hold it. Is that true?

Reading what it says on this website, it seems that may be somewhat correct.

I know the Bloke that got nailed for having the 1400 coins.

It just goes to show that there is nothing more deadly than a woman scorned. :angel:
