    canadian currency has a mention of God on it...well, at least the coins do, i havent been able to examine a bill yet...

    anywys, i was looking at a nickle from 1964, and on the reverse with the queen on it, i noticed the words Dei Gratia on it...i looked up, in my handy dandy dictionary, what it meant, and apparently it means "By Grace of God"...meanwhile, in recenter years the whole words have been replaced for the simpler sneakier D.G. before the Word Regina [where it was minted]...



    oh my gosh, i wonder how many people in my house know that...oo, this would be a good bar bet :D
