New knowledge from the hobby

2 posts
I am excited to get new facts/stories/knowledge and I noticed how many new and interesting things I've got from the hobby!

As example: before I thought Holland and Netherlands are the same, but now I know they are different, thanks to a member from Netherlands.
I didn't know how many territories France has outside the Europe!
I knew before about Gibraltar, but I didn't know about Spain cities in Africa (Ceuta and Mililla, thanks to 25 pesetas holed coins)...

But the last one and the biggest story is Hutt River (from this topic https://en.numista.com/forum/topic22541.html).

Amazing story about amazing country I've never heard before!

Do you have any ineteresting knowledge you get from the hobby?
I had no idea how many world coins had Queen Elizabeths picture on them.
If people drove the way they walk, we'd all be dead.
