Last week a number of readers noted a bad link to the issue. That was my fault - sorry!. Our webmaster Bruce Perdue caught the problem and sent out another copy of the email. For anyone who still has issues reaching last week's edition, here's a link to the full issue: https://www.coinbooks.org/v28/esylum_v28n01.html . We've also addressed some issues with embedded YouTube videos - see this December 29th article on the Pakistan State Bank Museum: https://www.coinbooks.org/v27/esylum_v27n52a17.html
