DEALING WITH REPORTERS

  Gar Travis writes: "Early this morning (December 31st) I was
  awakened by a phone call from the Charlotte Observer
  (Charlotte, North Carolina) seeking information about United
  States currency issues. Reporters just "kill" me with their
  questions. They have all the resources, but lack the knowledge
  to utilize their research capabilities.  This fellow said he found
  my name on the Internet, associated with the ANA and wanted
  to know if the Federal Reserve ever issued a million dollar
  silver certificate and if so where to find information in its regard.

  Of course I directed him to visit the web site of the Bureau of
  Engraving & Printing, where information could be ascertained
  about the largest denomination issued, $100,000 featuring
  Woodrow Wilson (an inter-bank transfer currency of the late
  1930's) http://www.bep.treas.gov/document.cfm/18/118 and
  that perhaps contacting the Federal Reserve Bank in Charlotte
  would yield additional answers to his inquiry about United States
  currency issues and he said: "There's a Federal Reserve Bank in
  Charlotte? Really?" Yes, a branch office  of the Federal Reserve
  Bank of Richmond.

  Well....at least he knows the Internet exists."
