  Maybe, Juan, would work too.

  The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

  He probably went to a “blab school” where they didn’t have to write anything down.

  Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

  On a different note.....my favorite dumb criminal story was the three guys who tried to hold up a gun store with knives!

  All three were taken out in body bags! I guess they didn't realize that people who work in gun stores are just looking for an excuse to use their guns!

  Maybe... it was his/her’s name?

  Norwegian: habitational name from a farmstead in Hordaland named Oen, from Old Norse Ó (unexplained), or from any of several named Øen, most from the definite form of øy ‘island’. Dutch: variant of Hoen.

  Could this have been done on purpose to avoid prosecution? As in writing a proper denomination "one" would constitute counterfeiting or some other crime and writing "oen" would not?
