<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Fox, post: 1310629, member: 34070&quot;]Dear Board,</p><p><br /></p><p>I am currently writing an article on the supposed Japanese 100-yen coin shortage caused by the Space Invaders arcade game during the late 1970s.&nbsp; Information on modern Japanese coinage in English is predictably very hard to come by.&nbsp; However, I believe the second edition of Michael Cummings <i>Modern Japanese Coinage</i> (1978) has some of the data I need.&nbsp; If possible, I would be very grateful to obtain a couple or so scans of what it has to say about the 100-yen denomination, for both the post-WWII silver issues (1957-1966) and copper-nickel cherry blossom series (1967-date), especially concerning the symbolism and other background info for each type.&nbsp; Normally I would consider just buying the book, but my time to finish the article is severely limited (the deadline is early December), due to concentrating on another article project which I have just finished.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone with Cummings&#039; book can help, even if it be the 1st edition, I would be most appreciative to hear from you.&nbsp; The article, by the way, is intended for the January issue of <i>World Coin News</i>.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Best regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>Mark Fox</p><p>Michigan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
