Pabitra Saha forwarded several new coin images this week, and a few caught my eye. Regarding one from last week, Dave Alexander writes:Labas! (Lithuanian for Hello!) The prickly tangle on the obverse of the Lithuanian 50 Litu is the stylized map of the Euro zone nations and the stars representing member states scrambled together. The 5 Litai coin's wreath is one of the originals of pre-war Lithuania, which employed rye, barley and the national plant the Rue (Lithuanian, Ruta).Ripening fields of rye inspired the yellow band in the nation's flag.
