boydle Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I am somewhat lost here can you enlighten me more as to what is happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 We have a project where we create our own "short snorters". CPeeps who want to participate provide a note of their choosing. The notes are gathered and sent to as a group to each participant who then signs each note and passes the package along to the next person on the list. When the last person has signed the notes they return them to me and I distribute them back to their original owners. There are several threads on the site about them. Images of the snorters from 2006 can be seen at the link below. CoinPeople 2006 Short Snorter Notes The 2004 Image library is below. I don't believe we did a Short Snorter in 2005.

Art Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 This is a World War II Short Snorter that I have in my collection. This is the blurb that accompanied this note when I purchased it. Something very different! This is a "short snorter" based upon a Peppiatt 10/- (ten shilling) mauve emergency issue note from the Second World War. "Short Snorters" were begun by American servicemen, some say during the First World War. The idea was that wherever a serviceman went he would get the signatures of colleagues (and often local ladies) upon the local currency. These notes were then taped together end to end and kept upon his person. Then, when a group of soldiers were gathered together in a bar anywhere in the World, someone would shout "Short snorter!" and everyone had to produce their Short Snorters. The guy with the shortest one had to buy a round of drinks. This is the first one I have seen which uses a Peppiatt Mauve Ten Shilling note. It has been signed by two local ladies, Mandy Raymond and Kay Lang, both from London and also by Technical Sergeant James Finlay from Rowonga, which I think is in New Zealand. I wonder what happened to them all? This is a unique piece of the history of WWII. As you can see the note still bears the mark at the right-hand edge where it was taped to the other parts of the Short Snorter. It is not in wonderful shape but it is totally unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Wow! Let's see it's the 20th of June and I posted this on the 12th of June and so far, it's me and Jeff. I'll only need a very small envelope. Seriously, I don't understand the lack of response. I always thought this was a cool project and produced some really neat keepsakes for CPeeps note collections. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Sorry - I thought those that signed up earlier were still signed up. So sign me up again. Perhaps my confusion is shared by others and that's part of the reason others haven't responded as well? Other than that, I can't think of why no-one else would sign up.... I've noticed that for banknotes, there's seems to be a general lack of interest in these extra fun things - like in the Popular Banknote Contest that never quite got off the ground last year. C'mon, guys and gals! Sign up and have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I have always participated in the past, but since I am in Ukraine it is a pain to get mail back and forth. Usually I have to wait for someone to come or go, because the mail here is a ship of thieves. I may not be going back to the USA until August or so. I did find some old Soviet era rubles in a market today, for about 50 kopeks each, or about 7 cents. But I could not talk down the Ukrainian commemoratives in silver that I wanted.
