When I looked at Yugoslavia as Y for the #AtoZChallenge, the first coin I liked was the 1955 50 dinara. I love how that series of coins work together. I wrote up the earlier 1931 10 dinara first, to break up the history of the country a bit, so today here is that 1955 #coin: https://coinofnote.com/1955-yugoslavia-50-dinara/

TO COAX. To fondle, or wheedle. To coax a pair of stockings; to pull down the part soiled into the shoes, so as to give a dirty pair of stockings the appearance of clean ones. Coaxing is also used, instead of darning, to hide the holes about the ancles.

TITTER TATTER. One reeling, and ready to fall at the least touch; also the childish amusement of riding upon the two ends of a plank, poised upon the prop underneath its centre, called also see-saw. Perhaps tatter is a rustic pronunciation of totter.

Early medievalists: does anyone by chance have a copy of Frank Carey's typewritten list of MSS from St. Germain d'Auxerre? I've seen a dozen footnotes citing it but only as a photocopy at IRHT in France or the Vatican Library
