Nickelman,the Freemasons aren't a cult,but a fraternal society similar to the fraternities that American universities & colleges have.They do a lot of community work. The Ku Klux Klan,on the other hand,ARE a cult! They do no community work,because they're a bunch of bigots who are an embarrassment to the Protestant religion. Ryan is more than right to answer people's questions in relation to Freemasonry & the tokens that have been issued by the various Masonic lodges.I am defending him there. Aidan.
The coin I posted above was found in an antique shop by a friend of mine in the fraternity. It had a "$2.00" and "Masonic Collectible" on the 2x2. Not sure of the history except who I received it from. Hey, it could have been counter stamped in the States. Stranger things have happened.
Nickelman,let us all focus on the numismatic aspect of Freemasonry here.Keep the 'Is Freemasonry a cult?' type remarks off here please. Aidan.
