a few more banknotes, including an upgrade for a Yugo note, a few from Uzbekistan, and I took a baby step towards expanding my collection and got an Albanian note. I always planned on eventually collecting Albanian coins/currency, as it was a Socialist state (although it withdrew from the Warsaw Pact and aligned itself with China and Viet-Nam) and was considered part of the Iron Curtain.

I received an 1849 large cent that I purchased from Bill. My first large cent. I just love it! I was watching the President's State of the Union address tonight, and I just kept looking at the coin and wondering how many people used this coin back in the mid 1800's. I know Zachary Taylor was the President back then and in 1850 the chief question of the day was the future of slavery in the new territories. So where has my coin traveled? It will have a very cherished place in my collection. Thanks, Bill!

Got a great book today. It is called "GeldKunst - KunstGeld" and shows all commems ever issued in the Federal Republic of Germany, along with the designs that won a second, third etc. prize but were not minted.

 

It also shows the (minted) designs of the GDR coins, a few coins that were planned but never issued, and the winning participants of a contest for new/young designers. The book has about 500 pages (size ~ 20x25 cm), and the first 200 pages or so are articles about the history of commems, about the role of the mints or about the designs of the federal eagle on the commems. Nice price (less than €20) and pretty interesting. :ninja:

2 packages today, both from across the pond.

 

first package:

 

1994 50p D-Day folder

1999 £2 Rugby World Cup folder

 

second package:

 

1969 clamshell case 6-piece set of decimal coins (matches perfectly my 1968 clamshell case 5-piece set, which doesn't have the 50p) [a special thanks to Aetheling for helping with this one]
