In a previous article Dave Hirt wrote about the Wass, Molitor & Co. coins given to the Hungarian National Museum by Samuel Wass. The coins have now gone on exhibit, and a nice video of the opening ceremonies has been published.

Today my friend Balazs Csanady sent me a video of the opening ceremonies of the California gold coin exhibit that I previously wrote to you about.
Balazs is the young man in the white jacket, first seated, later looking at the gold coins. So now you can match his name with his face!
Great crowd!
Great coins!
Many thanks to Dave and Balazs for passing along the news. It's marvelous that early pioneer U.S. gold coins given to the museum directly by their maker are still on hand and available for public viewing. The soundtrack is Pink Floyd's "Money". Check it out.
