QUIZ ANSWER: LLANTRISANT'S NUMISMATIC CONNECTION

Last I asked about the numismatic connection of Llantrisant, Wales.
Jeff Starck of Coin World was the first to answer.  He writes:
"Llantrisant is home to the Royal Mint."

I also asked if anyone knew the proper definition of "penultimate",
a favorite word of Q. David Bowers who, like me, had misunderstood
it for years. Jeff also got this correct.  He writes: "Penultimate
means second to last, i.e., not the ultimate, but the one preceding
the ultimate. Stack's Part 27 of the John J. Ford collection might
be the penultimate, with Part 28 being the last. (I jest about the
number of sales, though!)."

Joe Boling also came through with correct answers to both
questions.
