The Trio Game

Thank you.

1. If called by a panther,
Don't anther.

2. Candy
Is dandy,
But liquor
Is quicker.

3. I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.
 
Good thing i love history...Ottoman Empire which i studied when i was sophomore in university and my research also.

I hope if it is my memory serves me right..3 currency may be right is either-

1) Akce
2) Lira
3)Kurus (something with that spell)

they're not dutch and they're original currency of Turkish during Ottoman Empire. That's when Marco Polo's time.

Nope, that is not the answer. Keep trying :)
 
My answer is a variation of one of Norcal's. The only Dutch-like (but not Dutch) Ottoman coins I can find in my coin book are gurushes.

Gurushes? Like Norcal said, spelling will vary.

Actually no - it is not technically a form of currency - it was "considered" as a form of currency back then as it was very valuable and much-sought for.

Two more hints-

1. Comes in all kinds of colors

2. Alexandre Dumas wrote a book on it
 
Dumas wrote quite a bit on the value of bread and salt. I seem to remember salt as a form of currency in lots of cultures. Salt?
 
Wow this seems harder than I thought it would be.

No it is not diamonds.

Few more hints:

1. Indigenous in Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and other parts of Central Asia
2. Resembles a turban
3. Can grow it
