Yesterday and today HRH payed a surprise visit to the dutch troops in Afghanistan at camp Holland in Tarin Kowt in the Uruzgan province.The Prince was the first of the RF to visit the troops there to give them moral support.It was the Prince's second visit to Afghanistan,three years ago he visited Kabul with then state secretary of defence van der Knaap.
Due to safety reasons the visit was kept secret,until he ran into a dutch journalist....
Alexander also met with President Karzai earlyer today.

It is very interesting. From ancient greek and roman coins to the first 'notes'. Golden and silver coins. War coins during WWII. Commemorative coins. The evolution of banknotes into high tech printworks. Frauds. False money. The various designs during the centuries, etc. The transfer to the Euro. Today's production of Euro coins and notes.
The building of the Royal Netherlands Mint alone is worth a visit.
Here another pic.
On the building you can read: "Het geld hier uit metaal verkregen zij nooit ten vloek doch steeds ten zegen" (litterally: The money, in here from metal obtained, be never cursed but ever blessed")

I was hoping he would wear a cape or something, but I suppose they only do that for more formal occassions. I actually don't recall that I ever saw him with the cape belonging to this order. Are all members of the RF also members of the order or just Beatrix and Willem-Alexander?
