SO WHO THROWS COINS AWAY?

  Regarding the Ancient Coin educational project discussed in
  the last issues, Arthur Shippee writes: "The following is an
  interesting request from the Explorator editor, from whom
  I've given you some of the ancient coin news.  One hopes
  that your readership will have definite news one way or the
  other."

  Explorator editor David Meadows writes: "Speaking of ACE
  coins, they were giving a presentation at a symposium
  somewhere in Pennsylvania and after their talk, some classicist
  guy got up and gave a paper on why things like ACE coins
  were wrong (the usual AIA anti collector thing).  So ACE
  asked me what *my* view was and if I had heard of any
  cases of museums actually throwing away the sorts of coins
  they use in their program. They've heard 'anecdotal evidence'
  but even that was sketchy. Do you or your coin friends know
  more?"
