<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 598134, member: 9474&quot;]I hope you can too!!! It is a very nice place.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The sign says that it is supported by Aviation Securty Worldwide, but I don&#039;t know.&nbsp; Like Pennywise pointed out, there was a $5 charge per person and then they had a donation box.&nbsp; As far as I am aware and based on the converstation I had with the owner, it is privately owned by his family.&nbsp; I also told the owner that I will find some new 2009 US coins for his collection and put them in the mail to him.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First, you go through a security gate with security guards stationed there.&nbsp; I told them I was here to buy some coins and they directed me to a door on the side of the bank.&nbsp; We tried to go in the front door of the bank because we didn&#039;t see the side door at first. The front doors are opened by the security guards behind a glass booth in the lobby.&nbsp; Once in the lobby, you need security access to go anywhere else.&nbsp; It looked more like an office building with cubicals than a tradional bank.&nbsp; The guards were super nice and showed us around the side entrance.&nbsp; There you have to push a buzzer for them to let you in.&nbsp; You are now standing in a small area about 4ftx4ft.&nbsp; Just big enough for both my wife and I.&nbsp; There you are talking with the teller on the other side of the glass and you tell him what you are wanting.&nbsp; Here is the site that I downloaded.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.cbaruba.org/cba/readBlob.do?id=1319" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cbaruba.org/cba/readBlob.do?id=1319" rel="nofollow">http://www.cbaruba.org/cba/readBlob.do?id=1319</a> (The site has apparently been updated since I downloaded it because I did not see the 2009 coins.&nbsp; Had I known that I could buy them, I would have.) Then they show it to you through the glass.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t like that because I like to hold it in my hand and look at it myself, but I didn&#039;t ask otherwise.&nbsp; I bet they would have let me look at it if I had asked, but being the first time there, i didn&#039;t want to get anyone mad.&nbsp; They totaled it up in both Aruban and US currency.&nbsp; I paid in US currency</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This part I will be more than happy to do, but it will have to wait until tonight when I get home from work.&nbsp; For the one set of coins I purchased, I had to use the Google translator to figure out what it said&nbsp; because it was in Dutch and I have that at home on my personal computer.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The nice thing about these coins is that they typically have mintages less than 2000.&nbsp; One coin that I purchased has a mintage of 1500 and the other two have mintages of 1000.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
