THE MAKING OF PORTUGAL'S ECCENTRIC COIN

Pabitra Saha forwarded this video about the making of Portugal's "eccentric" coin. Thanks! He calls it "ex-centric", and I think I like that term better. He adds "I use the term 'eccentric' for some persons :-) Except that those who are not 'eccentric' are not called 'concentric' ;-)" -Editor
