because of it's small size which were the 5 cent coin made from silver until 1921 after which they were made large of out of nickel which explains why some people over here use that term to describe a modern 5 cent piece. I guess the RSA equivalent would be your old 6 pence "ticky" coins. Regards + HH Bill ------------- carpe diem
