  1. nope. if i had the money i'd make you an offer. i don't love toning either, but this looks pretty awesome.
  2. i love these designs. we won't, however, seriously depart from the dead white men meme because the us dollar is so widely used as a de facto currency where local currencies are unreliable or otherwise unavailable.
  3. they're definitely interesting. they are, of course, supposed to replace coins ... they feel kinda weird as coin replacements.
  4. i think the notes are really attractive ... except for that font. it kills me. they must be stunning in person ...
  5. i used to use the "read all new messages" option all the time but i can't find it now ... is it still there?
  6. got my panama pill at my mailbox today ... i didn't really expect it to be so tiny! very cool, and it raises questions: did people really circulate these? (for those who don't know--this coin really is pill-sized ... smaller than a conventional aspirin).
  7. i've thought about this sort of collection ... and it just seems endless ...
  8. panama, please ... and thanks! (i admit to watching this thread daily to see what surprises will turn up next ... a very neat idea for a contest!)
  9. actually, that's pretty typical of classical greek male figures ... large penises were thought to be vulgar. times sure have changed--today we'd think he was just using steroids.
  10. that's an awesome looking note. i've only ever seen these online (or on a book cover) but i'd love to have one someday ...
  11. here ... let me google that for you
  12. when i saw this item i thought it'd be an item about the proposed mint at the dalles, oregon ... but i did forget about the manila mint.
  13. during my recent trip i only received one five pound note in change ... it was pretty well used and i promptly stuffed it into my pocket and went on my way ... never to be seen again until i was on my return flight. if my limited (two weeks plus) experience is any indication it might be that both the five pound note and coin could go away ...
  14. in fact, the musems on both side of that courtyard have been (recently) extensively renovated--the new DeYoung has been open for a while and the newly-renovated California Academy of Sciences is on the verge of reopening now . . .
  15. just got my most recent auction wins from jtryka ... very pleased with the mercury dime. thanks!
  16. got a packet of stuff from Jeff over the wknd ... more good stuff, plus he was super patient as i found stuff in subsequent offerings that i wanted to add to my purchase.
  17. my stepmom used to work at the american bank note co ... i could never get her to bring home samples.
  18. so you're engaged to do something illegal, then? interesting.
  19. i got one of those too ... thanks!
  20. these are some of my favorite banknotes ever.
  21. watching all this is inspiring me to return to action (my collecting behavior comes and goes .. )
  22. very cool. are they all the same thickness? i wondered, briefly, if i could get these at work, but our canteen isn't affiliated with aafes ...
