mmarotta Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 My check for editing the MichMatist arrived today. As the editor, I handle the payments to authors and that includes my own. I do not issue the checks, though. The president and treasurer do that. I just prepare invoices and envelopes and such. Well, getting paid was a big deal for me. I live in Ann Arbor, zipcode 481xx and I addressed my own envelope zipcode 418xx and sent my money to Kentucky. I was happy to see it today, I assure, you.

tabbs Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Got an African coin today - a new 200 escudos commem from Cabo Verde. African pieces are usually not among what I collect "actively" but, well, I will keep this one :-) The coin commemorates the anniversary of the country's independence ("30 years of independence - 30 years of education for development"). The side with the face value is quite sober; the other side shows people, figures, characters, and even Einstein's famous relativity theory formula ...

Trantor_3 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Welcome back trantor_3! I see you've also taken a trip to the future with that Haitian note! In two ways, ccg.... We had a visitor from Haiti one day in our project (a US guy who works there for a similar organisation as I worked for) and he gave me that note. WE planned to go to Haiti for a few hours and have a look there, guided by him, so he could tell about his work there. Unfortunately Alpha kicked in and cancelled that plan. So some day I have to return there, since I only collect stuff from countries that I've visited or will certainly visit. Now only hope I don't have to wait 998 years.... During my vacation, a colleague was on vacation too, to Greece. He brought back for me: Greece 1 cent 2003 Greece 1 cent 2004 (3x) Greece 2 cent 2005 Greece 5 cent 2002 Greece 5 cent 2002 F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 This may seem like a dumb question, but considering us Yanks aren't allowed to have post-1959 Cuban currency, is the modern stuff of clad/base metal composition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, a bit more info then...

If I give/trade/sell them to you, now I'm back in The Netherlands, it's OK I think.... I remember I've heard something like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Limited amounts of Cuban goods are permitted in the US provided that they were not directly imported from Cuba. (e.g. via a third country) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 No stapler yet? Got it! Not just any stapler either, this thing is a Cadillac: assisted-power for effortless stapling, large contoured design, fits a whole row of staples (do not need to snap them in half), and best of all FLAT CLINCHES!!
