Some Banks in Thailand already have put on their pay sheets expert monkeys who can handle and test coins for weight and strength and distinguish counterfeit coins from genuine ones by the color and ring of the  main Job is the detection of bogus coins.

South became Declarer at a game in hearts. North s bid of three hearts is not endorsed by this department. We prefer More disciplined raises when the come in the form of a free bid at the three level. It was fortunate that South exercised great moderation. Many a player Wouldhave driven As far As five before giving up and that would have been fatal. But South was con tent to make one display of Jam or and then retire from the scene he manifested the Sam degree of caution in the manage ment of the Dummy the King of Spades was opened and taken by the Ace a a East of Gan e High Low. Declarer Ted Back the ten of Spades won o West who continued with a third round of the suit South saw that using Dummy s ten of Trumps to take care of the third round of Spades would depend on finding West with the Jack of Trumps not a favourable Chance. A recheck of assets revealed that South had nine routine tricks. Five hearts a Spade a Diamond and two clubs. The Only source of a 10th trick is a Ruff in Dummy. Since East is very Likely to Over Ruff a Spade Declarer decided to seek his 10th trick by ruffing a club in Dum my. The stage for this play was set by discarding one of Dummy s clubs on the third round of Spades now if Declarer could find East with at least four clubs the Ruff of a club could be accomplished without danger. West held the third round of Spades As East threw a club but there was nothing the defens could do to prevent Declarer from ruffing a club for his 10th trick.
