Although, at this point, even in the best case scenario I'll likely still bogart Libby through Smudge's first birthday in August. She'll need help smooshing the cake. Also, for anyone thinking about signing up or hosting her again, just kidding about that whole curse thing.

Sorry, guys- I think somewhere in her later visits Libby must have picked up a curse. Soon after her arrival my daughter developed some neurological problems that kind of took over everything. Smudge is doing okay, but we're still working on figuring out her troubles. I took a few Libby pics early in her stay, but she recently resurfaced in the bottom of the diaper bag. I'll try to take some more, and get her back on her way before three years is up so I'm at least not the slowest of the slowpokes. I'll try to get some of the pics I do have up soon.

Go ahead and check in with Bobbycoin or, more likely, elverno. Just as a warning, I do think I'll probably keep her a little longer than ten days because I have a little camping trip I want to take her on towards the end of March. I don't get out and about much lately due to the spawn, so I need a little extra time to get some decent pics .

Smudge is teething on poor Libby! Got her here yesterday.

I can't even remember the last time I found something better than a sorely abused nickel or penny. Hopefully some luck will rub off on me in here.

Congrats on the big 8-0.

Yesterday at work I snagged a 20 that was almost a solid serial number... only one wasn't a 2. Oh, well...

Sure is. While I have not had an entire day off of work since this went up, I am closing it and sending the whole lot to the brothers for judging. Will let you know tonight.

Didja ever look at a dollar bill, man? There's some spooky s#1+ goin' on there. And it's green too. ---Slater, from Dazed and Confused.

Ahh, there's nothing better than a cigarette... unless it's a cigarette lit with a hundred-dollar bill. ---Krusty the Clown.

I am the terror that flaps in the night, I am the ten dollar service charge on all returned checks. ---Darkwing Duck.

Collecting banknotes and collecting for history are not mutually exclusive. Collecting for aesthetics and history aren't always, either. You'd probably have a difficult time finding any obsolete coin or currency that wasn't a remnant of something historically interesting.

Certainly not advocating breaking the law in any way, or exposing one's self to 14 years of prison... but the government has never come in and checked out my collection. Just, you know, saying...

I have some counterfeits in my collection that my underlings have accepted at work. They're kind of neat novelty items.
