"Interests change and storage space must be regained! Just spent the afternoon going through boxes of stuff we moved from the old house.

"I have World Coins magazines, 1964 to 1970 in slip cases, and (11) 1971, (12) 1972, 1973 seems to be missing, (3) 1974, (11) 1975 and (3) 1976. I have also photocopied the indexes for 1964-72 and 1974-75.

"Also, 1975-78 Numismatics International bulletins in NI binders, and (4) empty NI binders. And a few miscellaneous OIN and SIN journals/bulletins.

"All I want is my postage, and a donation from the buyer to the NBS. Postage, even by media mail will be expensive. Total weight is about 60 pounds, probably in two boxes. The recipient will have to tell me how much insurance they would like. Recipient to pay actual postage upon receipt."

"Regarding old provenances for Ancient coins, may I mention that this month I published with Jean-Marc Doyen an article entitled “Concordia augg – Deux notes sur un aureus à bustes jumelés de Gallien et Salonine”, in Bulletin du Cercle d’Etudes Numismatiques, vol. 57 (September – December 2020), pp. 12-21. This text, partly in French and partly in English, has the following abstract: Archive research has allowed to retrieve the long pedigree of a unique gold coin struck in Milan in 263 CE. It used to belong to the Milanese collector Don Carlo Trivulzio (1715-1789), and then passed into several private collections. The exceptional iconography, with jugate busts, is placed in the context of Roman numismatics, in which it rarely occurs.

It was rather exciting to discover that a coin, sold at auction in 2019, was not only unique, but also mentioned in three manuscript documents around 1770! I shall wait a year before uploading the PDF on my Academia.edu webpage, but can be contacted for more information at coinadvisor@yahoo.co.uk"

"Has there ever been an article about the note in the attached photograph and do any of your readers know where it has been written about?"

"I follow this guy on YouTube for his historical videos. He does a pretty good survey of what the British used pre-decimal--runs about an hour."

"You can't go wrong when you mix money and chocolate. This BBC report on the recent discovery of Banjo Paterson's 120 year old war chocolate is a delight. Paterson's the guy on the Australian $10 bill and the author of Waltzing Matilda."

"Funny thing about the virus. We stopped eating out in March. With just home-cooked meals, no real dieting, I’m down 30 pounds and my blood pressure has dropped to normal levels. We hope to get the vaccine in January and are already putting together a list of restaurants we want to go back to. It’s going to be a battle."

"Regarding your article on Movies With Banknote Themes, the first one brought to mind is A Fistful of Dollars starring Clint Eastwood. A good source for more is the great book "Show Me The Money" written by Fred Reed. Among the many movies listed include The Banknote, The Adventures of a Ten Mark Note, How They Make Dollar Bills and many more with numismatic related subjects."

"In the new funding bill Congress just passed, it was specifically dictated that there be no redesign of the $1 bill. Pretty interesting!"

"Because the $1 note is infrequently counterfeited, the government has no plans to redesign this note. In addition, there is a recurring provision in Section 116 of the annual Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act that prohibits the redesign of the $1 note."
