"I'm recalling that in the year 2000, there was a push to get every country in the world to use the word 'peace' on a coin. I can't find anything online. By chance, do you remember this?"

I didn't, but E-Sylum readers knew all about it. -Editor

"Boy, is your face going to be red - it was the idea of Mr. Redbook, Ken Bressett."

"Regarding the 2000 Peace coins, I bought a lot at the ANA Summer Seminar YN benefit auction with a roll of 2000 Peace tokens. It was attributed to an effort by Ken Bressett. It also came with a full size flag with a similar motif.

"PS. I have a bunch left, if anyone might be interested."

"Also, Ron Landis did a different coin. And he writes on Instagram My "Peace 2000" Token I made to promote Ken Bressett's Peace 2000 initiative that tried to encourage nations around the world to produce one circulating coin with the word Peace on it for the new millennium."

"My "Peace 2000" Token I made to promote Ken Bressett's Peace 2000 initiative that tried to encourage nations around the world to produce one circulating coin with the word Peace on it for the new millennium. My involvement in this program helped to land me an invitation to design a new "Golden Mini Dollar" that would eventually become the Sacajawea Dollar."

"I can answer the question about the Peace 2000 coin program. I started it and carried it through until the end of the century."

Ken kindly forwarded a file of information. Below is a Coin World article. See the next article in this issue for a copy of the initial press release announcing the program. Thank you! -Editor

"Unfortunately, the program did not result in any worldwide peace movement. But there is always tomorrow, and who knows what the current political scene may do for us."
