| 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 If I am correct, what Pat pulls out is a 100 korun banknote, but one from Czechoslovakia, which was withdrawn in 1993, ten years before this episode was made.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.

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.
