WAYNE's WORDS

Among our recent subscribers is Leon Majors.  Welcome aboard!
We now have 863 subscribers.

My ISP decided to shut down for maintenance this evening, and
as a result I've not been able to pick up this weekend's incoming
email.  So my apologies to readers who sent in submissions that
didn't make this issue; we'll catch up next week.

Although shorter than normal, this issue does contain a number
of interesting items, including a great piece by Dick Johnson on
numismatics and the early thermoplastics industry, inspired by
Alan Weinberg's recent submission.

Do you know which firm made coin blanks for Flying Eagle cents?
Or wonder why old mint records refer to "dyes" rather than "dies"
for striking coins?  Read on to find out.
