Can't believe a mint general manager got the sack for misspelling the country's name on coins.
What if you saw 'In God We Trust' misspelled on U.S. coins?

THE general manager of the Chilean mint has been sacked after thousands of coins were issued with the name of the country spelt wrongly.
The 50-peso coins - worth about 6p - were issued in 2008, but no-one noticed the mistake until late last year, the BBC reported.
Instead of C-H-I-L-E, the coins had C-H-I-I-E stamped on them.
The coins have since become collectors' items and the mint says it has no plans to take them out of circulation.

Nobody noticed???
Is any one in that country literate?
lol!!
I have a few of them tucked away!
That’s too funny!
Hugh, series, and stuning!
How often do you read your money?
I suppose it could be worse. It could say “Republica De Chuck”
"In Goc We Trust" would be a hoot. 
Sometimes I even talk to it.
When I have some.
and Pauline Hanson is leaving the country too?
Tell it “goodbye”.
lol
These coins may fetch a pretty penny, some day.
How could this happen? Aren't goveco officials advertised as "the best and the brightest"?
Too bad the guy had to loose his job.
