Are you one of these people?
The Romanian Mint Rubbing Association
Having read their mission statement, Im a little cynical -
"When asked about mint rubbing,hundreds of millions of people instanly think about the Romanian Mint Rubbing Association (RMRA). Unleashing quality state-of-the art mint rubbing to the benefit of all mankind has been our vision and our dream."
The spelling mistake is theirs by the way.
Hundreds of millions????!!!!!
Ive never heard of it before - and Im sure a quick Mori poll survey would produce similar results!
Still, it intrigued me enough to click on the link.
Initially, I had imagines of seedy men with bad comb-overs huddled in dark rooms, literally rubbing after eights. Perhaps aided by some saliva or similar lubricant.
Picture an opium den. but with mints. A polo den. (Dont even go there with imaginings about the use of the hole).
But, alas but also with great relief, its nothing to do with that.
Still - seems a bizarre thing.
