To quote Wikipedia " in some countries, such as Cyprus and Malta, the words lira and pound were used as equivalents"
"Scientia potentia est" eh?

You learnt something and now I learnt something too
I found a wiki refence as to the meaning and use of the expression
"Scientia potentia est"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientia_potentia_est
The phrase
scientia potentia est (sometimes written as
scientia est potentia) is a
Latin aphorism often claimed to mean "
knowledge is
power".
