struck Explanation: I am deriving this from Arabic, where the root refers to "struck" as in metal struck on something. In the context of the sentence I would think they are talking about options (as in striking price). A more plausible alternative could be a derivation of 'atlasi' to mean Western funds. ...

planchet/blank Explanation: The only dictionary where I found this word was in Dehkhoda and this was not very helpful but at least gave a lead.

They are the blank coins before being minted. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days14 hrs (2007-12-02 18:51:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ٍExcerpt from the link above: به عنوان نمونه با اين كه در صورت ساخت كارخانه مطلس سازى، چرخه توليد اسكناس و سكه در كشور كامل خواهد شد اما به گفته دبير كل بانك مركزى اين مطلس ها (پولكى سكه هاى رايج قبل از ضرب نقش هاى دو طرف) كه براى ده ها سال از آلمان وارد كشور مى شد هم اكنون حدود هشت سال است كه از كره خريدارى مى شود. |
