V4 2001 INDEX       E-SYLUM ARCHIVE

The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 53, December 30, 2001, Article 8 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."
