say what you see

I have been stuck on this for more than a week now and closing date is getting near.

LIRA
FRANC
MARK
PESETA

They are in upper case and in very faint type, and I think that this is significant as faint, bold, small, large and staggered type have been relevavt in other instances.
Can any one help on this?? Please1

What about...............out with the old??

[Sonyme]

A possible contender! thankyou for that.

[GlenB]

No reference to the faint type nor to upper case but what about Foreign exchange (ex meaning former)

[Sonyme]

That is the one that I tend to favour, but it still isn't making me think 'THAT'S IT!'

Hi
I'm interested to know what the answer was in the end. Do you know. A real puzzle that one!

[Sonyme]

The four currencies were offset (which I couldn't get to show in the question as in the snakes and ladders one as well), and with one clue already with offsetting being relevant I didn't think this one would be..
The R in Lira, the A in Franc , the K in Mark and the first E in Peseta were aligned vertically to give RAKE and the answer was 'RAKE IN THE MONEY' And No! i didn;t win but came joint 5th with 120 out of possible 130

Hi
Thanks for that! Sorry you didn't get to win- one of these days. 5th is extremely respectable! Well done :-)
Keep trying. it sounds a hard puzzle to pick. What is it in?
All the best and good luck in the future!

It was a local Arts Festival Council qiz, - 10 questions each on Sport,Geography, Entertainment, Arts and books, History,Food and drink, Science, Animal kingdom and General knowledge, 20 say what you see, 6 what comes next, 6 what do these initials stand for and some basic maths and 3 Sudoku.
Challenging and interesting. I will have a word with the secretary and suggest that if they do another that they allow more time and mention it on here. So who knows?
