<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8391440, member: 100459&quot;]I like the write-s about the Antique coins from around Italy.&nbsp; I was fortunate to half a father in the Army, and we made two trips to Rome.&nbsp; I was about 8 when I first visited Rome, Pisa, and to the Mediterranean Sea.&nbsp; We stayed in a hotel that was facing the Apian Way and I remember seeing the statue of Romulus and Remus on the top of some pillars.&nbsp; I may get the details a little off.&nbsp; After all, I was 8 and that was in 1955.&nbsp; When we got to the Mediterranean Sea, there were several U.S. Navy War Ships.&nbsp; It made me proud to be an American.&nbsp; We were treated very well by the citizens of Italy.&nbsp; Eleven years later, I was able to take a trip around Europe.&nbsp; I had just graduated from high school from a U.S. Military high school in Verdun, France.&nbsp; We lived in Dormitories because the base (and many other bases) was too far to commute to school.&nbsp; Our dormitories had been part of a U.S. hospital during WW II.&nbsp; There was barbed wire surrounding the dormitories.&nbsp; I thought the fence was there to protect us from the French citizens, however, it seems that they were more afraid of what we might do to them.</p><p>Sorry for my travelogue.&nbsp; I use to collect coins when I lived in foreign countries.&nbsp; I was a missionary in Uruguay for 2 years and had a very nice collection of coins.&nbsp; I do have some Uruguay 10 Pesos bills from 1967 that are in consecutive serial numbers and crisp as the day they were issued.&nbsp; Are they worth much.</p><p>Thanks, guys.&nbsp; </p><p>Happy Father&#039;s Day to all you Fathers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
