WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM JUNE 26, 2011
No new subscribers this week. We have 1,430 email subscribers, plus 148 followers on Facebook, including Samsul Hadi and Demény Dániel György. On Friday several of our email subscribers reported that they received a copy of the June 5th issue of The E-Sylum. I was just as mystified, as I hadn't published anything since the previous Sunday's issue. I checked with Binhost support, and they confirmed it was their error: We released a bunch of "caught" messages that were stuck in the system in an effort to free two erroneously-caught emails. Normally this "trap" only catches spam and postings that have bad content. We had no idea that you had a newsletter stuck in there, and we apologize for the extra copy going out when you didn't expect it. Sorry for the confusion! This week we open with a note from David Sklow, word of two new numismatic book editions, and the story of a chance encounter with a numismatic author. Other topics include an Ute Indian Lifesaving medal, holed coins, Chinese practice notes, the new September 11 medal, and a 1797 book once believed to be the first printed use of the dollar sign ($). To learn more about where Aristotle was wrong, witchcraft and money multiplication, "currency erotica", Kung Fu Money and the New York State Numismatic Agency, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
