[QUOTE="midas1, post: 1533818, member: 21309"]It kinda was. It was the annual Butchers' Hill Flea Market in Patterson Park, Baltimore. It seemed about >20% of the patrons were Hispanic and the dealer was Hispanic. He had a good selection of notes I should have asked him for contact information. In previous years I've bought several very old interesting cameras and old photos at this flea markter. A few years ago at the Baltimore Whitman show I noticed an Hispanic guy and an Hispanic woman approaching currency dealers offering to sell beautiful very old Mexican ABNCo. currency. After they moved on I asked a couple of dealers that bought some of the notes why they were so desirable.

When Martin O'Malley was mayor Baltimore became a "sanctuary" city for illegal immigrants which may at least partly explain the large Hispanic population.
