  1. The Old Mint in San Francisco will be open for tours this weekend, March 5 & 6, 2016. http://sfhistorydays.org/
  2. Excellent choice of soundtrack artist! Thank you. Wish I'd been able to chronicle the collection at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna last month.
  3. I think it's a lovely note & an evocative memorial. I don't find it risque at all.
  4. Very nice Baxuss! Thank you for inspiring my newest purchase!
  5. The only thing I perceived to be “off-color” was the hue of the figure in question. I’m certain Dave was speaking only in jest. As constanius stated it is Zephyrus. What is not shown in the cropped photo are his very large black feathered wings. He resembles more an angel of death than a spring wind. The trio of lovely dancing ladies, from which the damsel on Mau Mau’s note is taken, “are believed to be derived from ancient images of the Three Graces and may be the symbol of Liberality.” Quotes from my Uffizi Gallery guide. Stunning painting, beautiful museum. Balaji, at what part do you take offense? Are you Hindi, Italian or Zombie?
  6. Absolutely stunning! Congrats! (How on earth did you stand the wait??!!)
  7. Congrats Saor! LOVE the dragon!
  8. Oh Dave, those Ugandan notes are so colorful & pretty!
  9. Those are great, guys! I have to get some Bermuda notes; I'm a pushover for anything purple, blue, or green!
  10. Oh, those are nice! I hope a closer scan is coming soon.
