Thanks Bill thats interesting, I like the olive oil story.

I was told once that thaler & Victorian soveriegns were popular in Arab & Muslim African countries as A Woman on a coin, an unveiled one at that was considered Risque or naughty.

I wonder if gold embelishments are sort of "naughty" but acceptable as not bieng "worn" even if always carried?
