btw BBC news clip from the recent Armistice 2018 coverage:
These coins both endangered and saved the life of a Belgian soldier, Optatius Buyssens, in World War One.
Shot after the noise of them “clinging together in his breast pocket… gave his position away… the bullet that should have killed him ricocheted off of the coins thus saving his life”. BBC story here
