You can only peso much
New management at the Chilean mint, following a minor misprint:
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.
Of course, things like this never happen in the United Snakes.
