Tricking Spammers by
A.E. Gelat
Here is an idea for tricking spammers, especially those from Nigeria, etc.
Open a bank account, but put no money in it. Then respond to that
million-dollar offer by giving the spammer its number, etc. When he bites,
get the details of his instructions and pass them on to the FBI and...

Paper Money by
A.E. Gelat
There are many postings in this newsgroup about paper money. There is a
dedicated newsgroup for that: rec.collecting.paper-money. The coin
newsgroup is often gets more than 300 posting a day., and it is rather
unwieldy. By using the proper newsgroup for paper money, this number could
be reduced...

Buttons by
A.E. Gelat
Some buttons are made of nacre, others are of plastic, or steel, or even

One mil US coin by
A.E. Gelat
In today's issue of Parade Magazine, Marilyn refers to a defunct 1-mil US
coin. I do not have any coin catalog that covers the period before 1900.
Can anyone give some information about such a denomination?

New Idea for US coins by
A.E. Gelat
I would like to float this idea for new US coinage. The denominations would
be 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 cent and $1 and $2 coins. The 1 to 25 centers would be
similar to what we have now, with occasional changes in design, but without
all the congressionally-mandated slogans (E Pluribus Unum, etc.). ...

Gold Sacagawea by
A.E. Gelat
An article in today's Houston Chronicle mentioned that some workers in the
refinery area were rewarded by a gold Sacagawea. Is there such a
thing? If not, it is a cruel joke.

OT - is this a record for shipping gouging? by
A.Gent
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2268211874
AUD$13 opening bid - no takers
shipping: AUD$179
This wouldn't be fee avoidance, would it?

OT - Funky imagery on some not-so-old scrip by
A.Gent
Please excuse the OT nature of this, but its not all *that* removed from the
imagery of coins.
I just bought a 1961 stock certificate for the Studebaker-Packard
corporation, and just *have* to share the funky vignette on the top of the
scrip.

What subject or design will be on the reverse side of the 2005 Reagan dime?

Bonzo comes to mind.
