The Stamps Of Smom : Knights Of Malta.

Hi Dave,

If I'm looking at the paragraph you've referred to, I don't see much there that's surprising.

I do think that the discussion in the body of the article on both accuracy and coverage/systemic bias (and in the separate "Reliability of Wikipedia" article) covers many interesting points.

Do I trust Wikipedia? Well yes, but only up to a point.

Life is too short to check primary sources on all information even if they exist.

If I see an obvious error of fact in Wikipedia, and I'm sure of my facts, I may correct it.

However, if it's a value judgement or other opinion that I disagree with or question, I will just ignore it.

The SMOM article has been edited over 2,000 times since 2002 by over 1,000 people. For what it's worth I see this as an encouraging level of activity.

To be honest though, even if there are many errors in the article, I'm not going to worry about it.

Wow

SMOM

1 Piccioli
6 Piccioli = 1 Grano
5 Grani = 1 Cinquina
10 Grani = 1 Carlino
20 Grani = 1 Tari
12 tari = 240 Grani = 1 Scudo
4 Scudi and 3 tari = 4.25 Scudi = 1020 Grani = 1 Zecchino

Scudo later derived to Escudo (As in Portugal)
Zecchino later derived to Sequin (as in Venice)

A recent 4 Escudos coin from Spain. It can be yours for € 880.

A bit of a mark up there, is reads 200 Euros.
