5 lipa coin in my coin collection |
Somebody from the Anima studio must have visited the Croatian coast and was left with a 5 lipa coin they couldn't use any more, or was thinking ahead enough to figure out it would be a good prop for the studio.
When Pat and Mat break open their piggy bank in the Wheels (Kolečka) episode, we can briefly see an authentic Croatian 5 lipa coin.
The coin was perfect for filming as it's very small, only 18 mm in diameter. Of course, that also makes it almost worthless, being worth just 1/20 of the Croatian kuna.
The scene following that one features a subtle gag that's only understandable to Czech and Slovak audiences and one which I became aware of only when doing research for this post. If I am correct, what Pat pulls out is a 100 korun banknote, but one from Czechoslovakia, which was withdrawn in 1993, ten years before this episode was made. Almost as valuable as his 5 lipa coin, then.
Perhaps I should have gotten rid of these sooner... |
Hmm, those coins seemed familiar to me, never thought that they were Lipa coins, every day we learn something new.
ReplyDeleteIs that the cloverleaf in thr piggybank. I think it's from Ctyrlistek/Lucky Four.
ReplyDeleteHey, you really should, for your own sake, stop trying to come up with connections Pat and Mat supposedly have with different series. It really makes no sense. A four-leaf clover is often associated with the piggybank, so there's nothing new there.
Deletethe cloverleaf symbol was similar to ctyrlistek. however it is intended because czech television wasn't responsible for any indirect connection to this show.
Deletehowever in the end of the episode, at night passes pat and mat are now in rollerskates (this is kinda similar to sister program which jiranek made called bob a bobek, in which two wear rollerskates).
