A spelling error is found in Chile's 50 peso coin, and "CHILE" is "CHIIE" and the person in charge becomes fired

In Chile, famous as a country with an elongated land in South America, a misspelling was found in the coin being used. I found that it was the country name part of the 50 pesos coin, and the part that had to be "CHILE" was "CHIIE", so it seems that the person in charge of the mint has become fired.

Details are as below.

BBC News - Chile mint boss pays the price of coin spelling howler

The problem coin is here. Certainly it is spelled "C - H - I - I - E" instead of "C - H - I - L - E".

This coin has been used since 2008, and it was made by some mistakes of the mint. There seems to be a pleasure among coin collectors "This is a collector's item", but it seems that there is no plan to collect misspelled coins for Chilean mints already distributed.

This was not the first time that the Chilean Mint has made a mistake, and in October 2009 there was a case that valuable medals that were supposed to be stored in the appropriate museums are sold to the coin collector by someone 11 There is also a case in which another medal with the face of President Michel Bachelet engraved on the market in May.

Also, it seems that there is a big reaction that people are overkilling in the world. The following is an example of the reaction.

· I like new coins! I have saved some pieces for the future. In my opinion, all coins should be made in the same way and change the country name!
· Who cares because there is no "L" in coins?
· Coins are small, and spelling errors can not be seen very much. It is very strange though. Chile is bigger and more beautiful than such a small defect.
· I have lived in Chile for 15 years but I have never seen such news on TV. I never thought of being fired up. Is the news censored in Chile?
· It should not be dismissed, "To err is human". After all, no one has suffered damage at that mistake.
· If you were looking at the small change at hand, one piece was mixed! Let's keep it.
