After a very short conclave with only three rounds of voting American-Peruvian Cardinal Robert F. Prevost has been elected as Pope Leo XIV!

Hopefully his new coinage would be released within the next few months.

Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.

Big congratulations to the new Pope who took the name,, LEO XIV,,

USA-you must be proud. What about the boys-girls around Chicago? Greetings Daryl.

As soon as I saw the white smoke in the live broadcast, I immediately wanted to create a new coin - I just took this picture from the TV, I was not able to crop it and print it in a small size and stick it on a large coin - which is empty and smooth and mark it,, LEV XIV-VIII-V-MMXXV,, I just have a new laptop and I can't do it with it.

Thanks to a colleague, I noticed this myself - it's just that I'm becoming more and more fallible.

Never had I ever thought it would come down to this! At first, I thought the Filipino candidate was gonna sweep the whole thing! 🤯

I'm really surprised that an American was chosen. I've heard many good things about him. He was on the board of a local catholic school in my city around the time I was in High School and there has been a lot of discussion about how kind he was to the students at the time. I'm not catholic and he has stances on issues I don't agree with but think he's going to be a great pope and wish him all the best.
