From time to time, I post about spelling errors, but the one I just read about in the following article cost a person to lose his job.
The general manager of the Chilean mint has been dismissed after thousands of coins were issued with the name of the country spelt wrongly.
The 50-peso coins - worth about 10 cents (6p) - were issued in 2008, but no-one noticed the mistake until late last year.
Instead of C-H-I-L-E, the coins had C-H-I-I-E stamped on them.
