Hi Martin and List,

Does anyone else find it ironic that the Aussies will put an
Argentinian meteorite on their Australian coin? The Aussie government
doesn't want it's own meteorites leaving it's borders in the hands of
non-Aussie citizens, so they will take another nation's meteorites and
use those instead. Talk about hypocritical. Talk about playing games
with permits and laws. They should stick to Fosters beer.

Best regards,

MikeG
