<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 706188, member: 66"]I have a complete of both the Phillipines and Columbian leper colony coins. I lack two pieces of being complete for the Venezuelan colonies (there are three of them). I have one piece from the Palo Seco colony in Panama. I have had the chance twice at a set of the Brazilian set but couldn't swing it at the time. I have pictures of the Japanese pieces and have tried to buy one piece but so far no success. Something I am quite proud of is that I have two pieces of Phillipines leper colony PAPER MONEY. The leper colony coins when seen tend to always be heavily cleaned and scrubbed for sterilization purposes. But how do you sterilize paper currency? Basically you can't without destroying it completely. For that reason very little ever left the colony. The two colonies in the United States (Hawaii and Louisiana) both use regular US coins and currency.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
