Bad Day At The Chilean Mint

Apparently the spell-check was turned off when this 50-peso Chilean coin was minted, and a bunch of them were released into circulation:

Republica de Chiie?


I mean, damn! It's only 5 letters, and it's the name of your country...

And apparently, the coins circulated for a year without anyone noticing...

They must have hired the same people who do tea party signs.

@wally: Or the ones who do anti-war/anti-bush protest signs.

Dang, Robert. I was referring to misspellings, not vitriol. Nothing vitriolic about "chiie".

I seem to have to spend a lot of time explaining my motives lately.

@wally: but Walt, there is a misspelling in one of the signs at the link I provided. Didn't you see it?

wally said...

No, I didn't. I see it now. I take it back.
