May's crossword puzzle.

Should be solvable with but is possible you'll learn one or two new things.

Some more or less useful hints: The japanese coin was once used in Japan. The two towns are both located at rivers in Germany. The three gentlemen hails from Finland.

As usual, Please don't publish your solution until Sunday. We don't want to spoil the fun for the others.
General comments or PMs always welcome. If online I'll confirm.

Enjoy the solving. wave

Yes, but I had to google the towns - thanks for the brain teaser, and have a good weekend! thumbsup

Got it. Nice puzzle.

When I told my doctor I couldn't afford an operation, he offered to touch-up my X-rays.

LadyKestrel pointed out that the river Donau is called Danube in English. My mistake. But you clever GameBoomers solved it anyway.

Not really a mistake about using Donau for Danube: it just adds to the appeal of the puzzle! blackkitty

I didn't think Donau was a mistake. It just took me longer to figure out. I've always enjoyed learning how geographical names change from country to country, sort of like a game of telephone.

Thanks for another fun puzzle, Fogfighter!

Fear not the dark itself, but what may lurk within it.

I'm glad the Donau was OK and added extra challenge to the crosswords.
But it certainly wasn't done on purpose this time.
