If you were not at MPCFest in 2013 . . .

. . . here is what you missed.

Presentations on the following topics (among others):

1) Working with the Shanghai Mint to produce a commemorative medal
2) Rationing in Canada during WWII
3) A war bond issued to a Pearl Harbor survivor
4) Counterfeit overprints made and sold by an Ebay seller
5) Famous signatures on short snorters
6) A statistical analysis estimating the survival rates for MPC
7) Civilian internment camp money of WWII
8) The printing of the notes used in the Theresienstadt Ghetto during WII

And the two special presentations by:

Len Buckley -- former BEP designer who designed some of the Series 692 and 701 MPC (as well as the Colorado quarter)
Grant Morris -- Department of Defense employee who designed Series 2-10 of the AAFES pogs used in Iraq and Afghanistan

Below is a Series 692 $1.00 note autographed by Len Buckley and a commemorative POG featuring Grant Morris and signed by him.

Thanks for the report lettow. Do you know if any of the presentations were recorded ?

 

Both of the featured presentations were recorded. They were recorded on a handheld video camera but the sound may be a problem.
