Did you know though, that the word 'Sequin' is a rendition into French from the Italian word 'zecchino' – initially a gold coin that was issued in the late medieval/early post-medieval centuries in Republic of Venice... then eventually forgotten! But it was the french who then revived the word to mean what it means today. How convenient, I'm in France after all – when in France do as the frenchies do :)
