It was my annual pilgrimage to the expo. The general was gone by the time i got there. Looked around a lot odf us notes a few foreign currency and coin dealers. no one had british india, india, cyprus, malta etc. (all sold out) then i went over dave (he is a dealer) and bought a bunch of stuff from him. stuff i still have to pay for it. bought a lot of world notes about 5 collectors stopped in between and asked me for advice and after speaking to me were very happy to have met someone nice and knowledgeable got to see some real old BEP stuff (not notes) from one of those guys. one of them even sold me some of his stuff an old British pound. Spoke to a lot of good people. the chicago coin club is meeting there tomorrow for those who are interested overall it was a lot of fun. cant type the whole list i bought but got new zealand olymer and somalia $75 bv for for 7 bucks not too bad. and hey general i was wrong you could have bought a lot of stuff there for cheap This part of the message is for my friends only In case you losers are wondering who won the Twoson give away it was me This is what i got 2 notes from china one from peru 2 notes from czech 2000 italian lira my fav a whole bunch of coins incl one gold (ok so i am kidding but u were green for a second) but coins from all over the world.
