VOCABULARY WORD: MERK

This last one's not from A Word A Day, nor is it about
books, but it's one I learned this evening playing a word
game with my family. My mother-in-law played "Merk"
and I didn't think it was a word. She wasn't exactly sure
either, but when we looked it up in the dictionary, it
turned out to be a word for a Scottish coin. Some
numismatist I am! Here's a web page depicting a
Scottish Merk of 1677: Scottish Merk
