The E-Sylum:  Volume 10, Number 19, May 13, 2007, Article 1

WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM MAY 13, 2007

Among our recent subscribers is Karl Hoffmann. Welcome aboard!
We now have 1,113 subscribers.

This week's issue is being published early due to your editor's
travel schedule.  An assignment has me on the way to London, where
I'll be working for much of the summer.  As a result, beginning
next week the normal publication time, while still a Sunday evening
for me, will be hours earlier for readers (all the more reason to
get your submissions in early each week).  And don't be surprised
if British spellings and date formats start creeping in...

During my extended stay I hope to see some numismatic sites and
visit with some of my E-Sylum friends.  Let's make some plans!
My email address will remain whomren@coinlibrary.com.

Coincidentally, we lead off this issue with a note about an
upcoming book on British tokens, which has inspired an economist
(and our own Dick Johnson) to discuss the ramifications of the
private issuance of money in the U.S. and Europe.

Next up is an item that was just too funny to hold until the end
of the issue.  If you haven't seen it already in the mainstream
press, you're about to find out what triggered the recent Canadian
"spy coin" scare.

In the news is an interview with a student member of Hawaii's
state quarter design committee, an exhibition of Australia’s most
'Kookaburra Collection', and a congregation of Congressional Medal
of Honor recipients in Green Bay. Have a great week, everyone.
