<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 3983719, member: 100459&quot;]I love this thread.&nbsp; At 72, I don&#039;t remember but a couple of the countries mentioned. At 18, my father was in the army and stationed in Europe and I got the opportunity to hitchhike around Europe.&nbsp; I did get the opportunity to go through Check Point Charlie. The hair on the back of my neck stood up when I went past their &quot;guards&quot;.&nbsp; I also got the opportunity to visit my father when he was in South Korea.&nbsp; North Korea&#039;s guards make East Germany&#039;s guards look like puppy dogs.&nbsp;&nbsp; I was in Uruguay in 1967-1968. I did get quite a few coins while down there, but when my wife kicked me out, I was lucky to get my clothes. My son told me that she took them to a coin dealer and left them there. I don&#039;t believe that. She probably thought they were worth something, so she sold them.&nbsp; Anyway, these coins are great. I&#039;m always curious as to how they are assembled.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
