<p>[QUOTE="str, post: 4945470, member: 115411"]For anyone who doesn't know, Saltus was the president of the New York Numismatic Club and British Numismatic Society when he poisoned himself with cyanide in a hotel room on a trip to London in 1922. Apparently he was using this cyanide solution to clean coins and had it sitting next to a glass of ginger ale. There is debate over whether he committed suicide over a secret engagement that wasn't going well, or whether it was just one of those misadventures in coin cleaning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
