Surely this picture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Golpe_de_Estado_1973.jpg should be here?


Redirect edit

My reason of moving this page is because it have to be La Moneda Palace, not Palacio..., it is incoherent. --MisterWiki talking! :-D - 01:32, 29 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Name Translation edit

Hi, I think the name translation does not represent a true translation at all, let me explain: the palace in spanish is called "La moneda" which means "The coin" as in "The coin palace" or "The palace of the coin". It is not called "The Mint Palace" bcause they don't mint there, in that case it would be "casa de moneda", lit: "House of coin" (which is in another part of the city, and where coins are actually minted). The name is a remnant when it was a minting place (called "la Real casa de moneda", "the royal mint"). In short, the "la" in "La moneda" changes it's meaning. 190.110.98.234 (talk) 16:52, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
