Here in Portugal we have some specific shops where we can buy at any day, any hour, freshly baked bread, still hot. We call that shops "Pão Quente" (which means "Hot Bread", roughly translated).

The coin depicted in the image is a result of my last coin exchange with Wendy. She sent me 22 coins, but about this one, who represents my 6th Treaty Of Rome, I must write "avec soupless", as it is from "République Française". It sure looks good in my collection, along with the other five. Muchas Gracias.
