Yes, got it. And as another piece of useless information -

There used to be (many years ago) a jazz octet run by a bloke name Harry 
Gold. He called it 'Harry Gold and his pieces of eight'. I thought that 
it was a good pun, Pieces of Eight being old Spanish coins from long 
ago. Then I found out that they were made of silver. Ah well ....
