<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2355780, member: 27832&quot;]I drover over to Chapel Hill this morning to attend a talk at the Wilson Library, but when I got there, I found that the talk had been canceled. I was already on the hook for an hour of parking, so I decided to wander around the library -- which was fine, until I tried to find my way <i>out</i>. (Plenty of EXIT signs, but all leading to doors with alarms!)</p><p><br /></p><p>As I went by one side hall, I happened to glimpse a couple of displays with suspicious arrays of round items. Here&#039;s what I found:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ypojqsIoN4ErJ8SZMNaainHNvQ8-xUtM95zHjzLsRaN7sOBs6C8hAD8m9UePVUAuIY91nLNJKRJRhmv2EcuTZ8oS0hinNx03uJi_sUSxOXGM6TbAg0EscatUWS_VzVb7rQqtebyb_Pq4se9rZrY1PbVO2AVOWdxCw6F5fK94e6lOdlysR66sUWcVNnfC6YmaWmkT3A7I_XbRUD0zIAQH4sFBPumk8npNJVDAczAvzuTb-EkMfADqXURgnM1vO4b8eyEoQBBFy322C-JD4QVdxkKbrMZO_ilKJw9V38hYgHo93yyMEeXia7ek_MdoMsdm71Nu4QdICt7RgJZxXViZgKgf-zD1rNKQsj1jqOkOid9gP7SvYCoh7XmU-XxQr_YOmwDWkr2awUreI742P0jJ5oOKu4lOYegUGFugRT_tUwMDH263iSTyr8HXJlNl5_dpA4fVGD-7v47zUWyZzC8Mo5Wy_UZ0w-6Xg2uoXtGwDdTK44nIqgcIeRcKS_n9owh28N3AB_rfM78fKoOyKhI78CAJ_z9Nkm3Bp_nKf_RJaSULbTPm-wCgg6vuSEbSefvWwloL=w1417-h798-no" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Y5u0-Lewsh-NAfT3ld55S8F40XXTURxO9aGeprtxB2CR-Phy0U8MTE4BUfguPMAUcn1n8BcJ3ZY4cst-rffsmMTk-uy-xP6vVRwjRBmEzoSurTDElAVqhmcJKn_-iIasFYGI-vr--Dvl1PgMYL3rzc3TDQj25a-631JewqbfowY1nNrjsbOjT2BoAa8SpADZ1DqaBBtUnKoJFTxlINkd_5g75BEPBHZl4VDnqZn4bNVvh61SQIJNkSq0K8uSSkvkF9KbzmZQKtbp14U_YdSwfgMJflOKMIG25UU8y9NKYsQ78hRFo9gdHUfM4iD3x5O_OQzU6DoYbOLtWz_4TZPnL8LZP2zsM0hfEDYflAG-fVkOFwh65_RJvCUvWwvAIyDUQ6vBCakjKILlLEoIH46FFrgknDX-Kt1gelHHcrav70hGmMubxS9gKes1srCowAgAmYeR7wvT--39eU9mjS4GWC5mG16eSudlZ6i5Cm9CkG2PCbgd4h7c1ygKOzdzRYRp1f6t-Rd3c5zlRyrgqoOckvzTNoNkW8Rwos7dX8Yo0nautZUjQvpHlJJehw1u7jce80vF=w1417-h798-no" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>...just hanging out there in the library, albeit within an open safe and behind glass. &quot;Surprised&quot; doesn&#039;t begin to describe how I felt.

Zoom in on the wide shots and you can read some of the text with the exhibits. There&#039;s also a shot of an eight-reales that didn&#039;t come out at all, and a shot of a stock certificate that didn&#039;t turn out so well either. If I go back with a better camera, I&#039;ll add shots to the album and update this thread, but it probably won&#039;t be soon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
