THE DROOLING DOLLAR

  Web site visitor Jim Driscoll writes: "I have a question that
  you probably cannot answer, but I will try.

  Around 1992 I received a copy of American Numismatic
  magazine, as I was a trial member at that time.  In it was an
  article on a certain "drooling dollar" which was a printed dollar
  of a foreign prince drooling of all things.  I of course had gotten
  rid of the publication before I spotted the dollar.

  Of course this stood out in my mind due to its bizarre nature.
  The article said that this dollar was released but corrected
  immediately and if anyone got a hold of one of the drooling
  dollars it could fetch a dandy price.

  At an antique shop I found one of each, the drooling and non
  drooling dollar featuring this prince's portrait, and a stunning
  leopard or tiger on the back.  I am wondering if I can find out
  what country it is from and what it is worth.  Thank you if
  you can assist me in any way."

  So, E-Sylum readers - does anyone recall a "drooling
  dollar?"
