WAYNE's WORDS

Among our recent subscribers are Gary Sparks and Don Carlucci.
Welcome aboard!  We now have 912 subscribers.

This week we open with some news from the U.S. Mint, a very
interesting discovery by Roger Burdette about coinage the Mint
contemplated in 1942, and a question about the members of the
Mint's Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.

Alan Weinberg offers commentary on the recently-concluded
Stack's Ford Sale, and Dick Johnson reviews Larry Lee's
dissertation on Numismatic Education.

A question to ponder this week is whether the introduction of
polymer notes makes the term "paper money" no longer quite correct.
Finally, a Japanese firm makes some really big money, and learn
what Colorado's governor said when seeing the new Colorado state
quarter for the first time.  Have a great week, everyone!

On an off-topic note, here's a handy guide of the top ten things
people can take to guarantee failure.  All of us are guilty of
some of these things, in both our numismatic lives and real lives.
