lizzyminto. Clue 80. Think central American country with a canal plus usual abbreviation for gold

Koilani That was my instinct immediately I read the clue but can't think how to put the name plus gold abbrev. together.

Koilani How embarrassing....of course I can. What a dimwit I am.

koilani. had already done that using au-gold. but couldnt come up with anything....still cant. must be me who is dimwit!! lol. How you doing with the quiz?

Janray are you all done? Thanks for words of encouragement yesterday and good luck or congratulations to you, whichever is appropriate. I'm plodding on, still need total of 30 before I'm finished.

lizzyminto - there is another 2 letter way of expressing gold other than the chemical symbol of au. If you still can't think of it, look in the dictionary for the start of your word and you'll come across it.

Can anyone confirm that 19. is the name of an island that would normally have St. in front of its name - or am I on the wrong track completely?
Thanks.
