THE WORLD MONIES MUSEUM FUND

Speaking of failed schemes, while leafing through some old
copies of World Coins magazine, I came across a full-page
ad (May, 1965, p405) which read, in part:

"Wanted - Your interest now, in the new World Monies Museum
Fund. Sponsorship for the World Monies Museum is by the
Numismatic Division of the Clinton National Bank of Clinton,
Conn."

I've never heard of a World Monies Museum in the U.S., so
I assume the project never came to fruition. Can any of our
readers provide more background? Typically these efforts
grow out of the desire of an individual collector to see their
collection stay intact and on display for years to come. Who
was the driving force behind this effort? If there was a core
collection, what became of it?
