Talk:Apologetic proverb

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

About the "Kruis of munt" dutch example: "Kruis" is no longer used in modern dutch if it ever was. To be honest, I don't think dutch coins ever had crosses on them, since at the time that we got our own currency, after the revolution against Spain, we were a mostly secular republic. Still the Cross may refer to spanish coins which I think did have crosses. Nowadays we use "kop" (Head) instead, referring to the fact that our coins have the head of the monarch on one side and the value ("munt") on the other. Robrecht 00:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
