OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

  Carl Honore writes: "Regarding the Euro program -- the same
  thing was done in Russia when communism fell and the new
  modern coinage came out.  Some of the pieces were in
  bimetallic format similar to the Canadian two cent piece.  I
  have a set of these and also a set of the older Russian coins
  with the Hammer and Sickle and portrait of Lenin.  These
  newer Russian pieces were glued (yes, glued) to a card with
  the denominations underneath and encased in a sandwich bag
  (yes a sandwich bag) with the excess folded over and taped."
