[edit] Done?

I never realized how much I hate definations. I'm finished with it. Most of these are geared toward the U.S. market, if you have some specific wording for another country, please add. Also, some of these are word for word out of the book as there's not alot of leeway in a short definition, if you can change or rearrange any without losing meaning, please do.

[edit] Laymen's terms for obverse/reverse?

Context: descriptive captions in English for medals and coins in a museum exhibit whose visitors include many non-native speakers. What terms would you recommend I substitute for the proper "obverse" and "reverse" (as the former is rather obscure)? -- Thanks, Deborahjay 13:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
