<p>[QUOTE="Wehwalt, post: 2263038, member: 33595"][ATTACH=full]449427[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449428[/ATTACH] I also bought some more standard items. All of these were purchased in Singapore. I wandered the grungy shopping centers of Chinatown looking for coin dealers (and other interesting stuff). The bank cash coin was one I got that way. That is a Singapore bank that was started by locals after WWII, did well and eventually merged with one of the biggies I think in 2001. The medal was from a shop on one of the tourist streets in Chinatown. Uniquely, the shop holder had several 3 inch medals, I bought this and another for S$10 each (the other shows a Chinese Communist general). The Nixon item was from a third dealer, that I discovered in the basement of Lucky Plaza on Orchard Road, where I had been told there were coin dealers (I found one). I was very glad to spend time inside once I had seen the sights I wanted to see as the air quality in Singapore is pretty awful right now because of the fires in Indonesia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
