NOTES FROM E-SYLUM READERS: MARCH 10, 2013

On Numismatic Social Groups
In a note to me earlier this week Bill Eckberg writes:

Enjoy Nummis Nova this month. We're having a good time with our little Florida EAC group. Our group as a whole is not as luminous as yours, but we do have a good time, and we've all become pretty good friends, though most of us already were. Our wives have been getting together some months, no doubt to say bad things about us. We should never have given women the vote!!! (Susan says I shouldn't say things like this, because not everyone understands my sense of humor. I think you do. I am a huge fan of Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal.)

Before retiring and moving South, Bill was a regular attendee at the monthly Nummis Nova dinners, my Northern Virginia numismatic social club. Our next dinner is Tuesday March 12th. Bill started a similar group in Florida with a number of Early American Copper collectors. -Editor

Money-Scented Cologne

Loren Gatch submitted these aromatic thoughts on a money-scented cologne and perfume. -Editor

I noticed you haven't published anything on cosmetics recently, so this may make up for it: Money-scented cologne...

Money cologne

From the website description:

"Liquid Money is encompassed with real shredded U.S. dollar bills, straight from the Mint [sic].The fragrance combines the clean essence of cotton, linen and silk; the formula used to make actual money. At Liquid Money, we want to surround you with success. The concept behind it was created to inspire you, to help bring out your dreams and inner desires".

Good to know we have a new source of liquidity in case the Fed fails us!

Phil Iversen at the Horseshoe $1,000,000 Display
Phil Iversen at Horseshoe Casino Phil Iversen writes:

Some time ago there was discussion about the $1,000,000 display of $10,000 bills at the Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas. Attached is a photo of me from the 70's standing next to it.

Thanks! I think I had a shirt like that in the 70s. Didn't everyone? -Editor

Query: July 1994 Numismatic Circular
Via Arthur Shippee, Adrienne Mayor, Stanford Classics Department writes:

Does anyone have access to the Numismatic Circular of July 1994, and the article therein by James Brindley titled "A Note on the Amazon Coins of Soloi"? The American Numismatic Society's copy has gone missing.

OK, so two requests - first, can anyone spare a copy of the July 1994 issue for the ANS Library? Second, can anyone forward a scan of the requested article? Thanks. -Editor
