2) An essay of catalogation of Uruguayan private money paper issuers, written by Rodolfo Franci.
3) The swindle made by an ex banker, by Javier Avilleira.
4) The tokens of Sasiain, by Daniel Fernandez Calvo.
5) Identifying shearing tokens (first part), by Horacio Morero and Mario Sánchez.
6) One Sunday, the Marketplace and a Nice Story, by Daniel Padula.
