None. Nor have countries using the Imperial System for that matter. :) There was no moon landing so far. :-X

But the first one will be metric of course.

Post by: uwe on September 20, 2016, 01:10:56 PM: Good idea! On their first visits in office, Presidents always bring presents to foreign countries. And an American Buffalo herd would be a piece of work in the long term.

Best of all, it's noninvasive...or maybe the word is exvasive.
