This is the signup thread. Post your name here if you want to participate. Pick out a great note and be ready to mail it to me quickly. I'm planning to mail the package of notes to the second signer on March 1,2006.

<p>
General rules:
<ul>
<li>You supply a note to be signed and returned to you.</li>
<li>Each participant agrees to hold the notes for no more than 5 days.</li>
<li>Each participant agrees to send the notes to the next person on the list via USPS Priority Mail - Insured (or the European, Canadian, whatever, equivalent)</li>
<li>The parcel is to be insured for $50.00 US</li>
<li>Participants will post in the tracking thread when they received the notes and when they send them on to the next person</li>
<li>Notes may be contained in a protective sleeve.</li>

</ul>
OK enough rules. Let's go.

...  or maybe a Counterfeit $20 freom work. . .


If you are the king of Canada, I have no advice, but if you live in Henrietta, Texas, you should know that mere possession of a counterfeit bill is not in and of itself illegal. However, counterfeit money is contraband and can be seized without a search warrant. Counterfeit money can be neither purchased nor sold legally. If you have a counterfeit $20 that someone took in by mistake, and you are a numismatist, then you might wish to enjoy the thing in the quietude of your own domicile. If you let it out of the house, it might not come back.

It does have a "piggy" sound come to think of it. Long tradition that goes back to before the WWI. I read somewhere that it started with the French Foreign Legion in Africa. Since soldiers were from such varied backgrounds someone started the tradition of generating keepsakes. It had something to do with drinking as well. Not really clear. Help?

This site has some nice ShortSnorter info and some snorters complete with their history. The one that the fellow carried in his wallet from WWII until the reunion in 1996 certainly makes a great story.

Short Snorters of the 447th Bomb Group

Challenge Coins" (unit coins, etc.) have several independent origins
that have come together into a common thread.

During the Boer War, mercenaries (auxiliaries) were paid off with a
handshake and a shilling. The shilling was in the officer's hand and
was supposed to be passed without notice. This is the earliest
reference I have found to a "unit coin."

During World War I, an American soldier from a wealthy family had made
for himself and his mates medallions with the unit crest on them.
Separated from his unit during a battle and wounded, this man (or one
of his comrades) was captured by French civilians who would have
killed him for a German, had his medallion not shown him to be an
American. This was another origin of the "unit coin" (or medallion).

During the Barnstorming Era, an aviator created the first "short
snorter" notes. Using stage money, he signed his name to the money,
got his boss to sign a real dollar, and then swapped the two notes,
the stage money for the dollar. "Now pull it on someone else," he
said. Short snorters became a brief though widespread tradition
during World War II when soldiers met aviators. Here, again, there
were several instant traditions. The crew of a plane would sign and
swap notes the first time they crossed the equator, or the first time
they landed in a foreign field, etc. The idea was that if you did not
have that dollar the next time you met, then you had to buy a round of
drinks. This is an example of the "challenge" money. I have a scan
of a French note signed by contractors from Bendix, Singer, etc.,
passing through a medical center on Tahiti. (Note that civilian
contractors serving in war zones is not new to Gulf War II.) I have a
couple of short snorter US Dollars.

Soldiers on transports would create long banners of notes, American,
British, etc., etc., taped together.

Another source is that soldiers would sign a dollar and give it to a
wounded mate going back. "When you get home, have a snort on me," was
the blessing that went with that.


After World War II, the tradition evaporated. However, during the
Korean War, an officer (colonel, I believe) had made unit coins that
he distributed to his men.

During VietNam, the "unit coin" or "challenge coin" became one of the
"dong" coins of South VietNam. If you did not have one on you, you
had to buy a round of drinks.

Unit coins spread quietly but continuously. During Gulf War I, four
Americans were captured and later returned. On the way out, one joked
to another that their common experience would make a good challenge
coin when they got home.

Challenge coins (unit coins) continue into the non-combat departments
of the DoD and para-military agencies such as the FBI, etc. Police
and fire fighters, etc., also create them now.

I'm excited about that. It's a great custom note. I really like them. I'm thinking that custom notes is the way to go for future ShortSnorters. I'll have to consider a neat design. Thank you for the idea.
