I'm smart, you guys! Hurr hurr. :D

So, I was thinking about something just now. I was just reading chapter 99, where Jasdebi are talking to Allen about the debts that Cross left them. Jasdero says that their debts add up to 100 guineas. I wasn't sure what kind of currency this was, so I went to look it up, and I found out that guineas were no longer minted beginning in 1816. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guineas#Nineteenth_century) So, I was wondering, if the series takes place in the 19th century, do you think that the reasonable timespan that the series takes place in is between 1800 and 1816?

Sorry for the rant, lol. xD

er.... end of the nineteenth century = the last decade or two. Which means we're probably talking about the 1890s

The anime takes it a step further in one of the fillers and lists the year as 1897, I believe.
