NEWMAN PORTAL SCANS BUNYAN’S CHIPS

The Newman Portal has scanned Bunyan’s Chips, the journal of the International Organization of Wooden Money Collectors (IOWMC), for the period 1964-2016. The inaugural issue stated “there are wooden nickels being issued constantly and it is humanly impossible for any one person to get a list of all of them.” Even with the power of the Internet and billions of users, this statement rings true even today. The best that can be done is to connect wooden money collectors, publish their collections and latest findings, and let the trading commence. The IOWMC group has done precisely that for over half a century. The group’s publication can further boast of one of the best named columns in a numismatic periodical, namely the president’s remarks in each issue, which appear under the title “The Wood Pile.” Many thanks to Darrell Luedtke, Bunyan’s Chips editor, for assistance with this project.
