Zimbabwe to Drop 10 Zeros in Currency Revaluation
According to news reports, Giesecke & Devrient GmbH supplied the paper but

Zimbabwe to Drop 10 Zeros in Currency Revaluation
I don't think that saving paper has anything to do with this revaluation.
More like trying to save face, if you ask me. Obviously dropping the zeros
makes calculations (manual and computerized) much...

Based upon the input of everyone in this forum, I can see that there would
be great resistance to dropping all but UNC prices from any catalog of

How important is it to have 3 values in catalog?
The problem as I see it is that there probably is no system in place for

How important is it to have 3 values in catalog?
I agree that catalog values should be used only as a general guide, but some

Case in point are the many examples where the...

How important is it to have 3 values in catalog?
I've been looking at the new SCWPM Modern Issues 14th edition and it
occurred to me that maybe it's unnecessary to include values for VG, VF, and

REQ: Comments on new "Pick" catalog
Michael,
I doubt that Krause will ever adopt your first suggestion as it's likely to

The Samoa Dilemma
The problem is that Krause has changed its way of listing these countries.
What was "Korea, South" is now "South Korea," which is fine by me.
