Here's the view of a Johnny foreigner. Having read the posts of your experiences/views I'm just glad that I don't live in the US. I'd be a...
Thanks for the pics and keeping us all informed on progress. They are an absolute joy to look at, making me smile, laugh and, I have to admit,...

How about making the banner international? Feb. 3rd Chinese New Year (Year of the Rabbit "Nah, what's up doc?"). One for me - Apr. 13th-15th...
If it ever gets to the stage that the Chinese (a touch of sinophobia I detect in this thread) flood the market with fakes why doesn't the rest of...

Sorry for butting in and I know it's not an American note and that the serial number is 'only' 7 digits and not 8 but... This was my very first...
World vs US. Born in England I don't think of myself as a British coin collector that also collects world coins. Now resident in Thailand I don't...
Well said and done calumsherwood. Most people would immediately think of the State in the US but here are just the few coins I have from the...
Love the new Nepalese note. And here's another one of Coppernickers. [ATTACH]
