<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 574093, member: 6370&quot;]well, that was fast...apparently someone donated enough to aquire these coins for them. All the same, one could still donate to help them out. It wasnt a large amount of money needed so I figured it wouldnt take long <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, I believe the ACCG will be starting a fund to be used to aid small museums and encourage them to display coins...I will report back on that later as it develops.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: darkred">&quot;Thank you very much for your email and offer of support. We have just</span></p><p><span style="color: darkred">had some wonderful news - the Friends of the Museum have received </span></p><p><span style="color: darkred">enough donations for the Museum to purchase the Roman coins, and to </span></p><p><span style="color: darkred">put them on display in the Museum&#039;s archaeology room. We are all delighted!</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: darkred">If you still wish to make a donation, cheques or international money</span></p><p><span style="color: darkred">orders can be sent to The Friends of Stroud District Museum, at the</span></p><p><span style="color: darkred">Museum address below. The Friends support the work of the Museum and help fund purchases for the collections, work on our displays, and our public programmes. &quot;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">added note from museum:</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: darkred">setting up a &#039;coin fund&#039; and PayPal account for donations sounds </span></p><p><span style="color: darkred">brilliant - I&#039;m sure many other local Museums in the UK are in a similar </span></p><p><span style="color: darkred">position to us and even a donation of £100 could make a huge difference. </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: darkred">Do keep us posted please!</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: darkred">To be honest, we have all been wonderfully surprised and heartened by the interest shown in the Roman coins and our appeal for help. Its wonderful that people want to support small, local Museums and its great that the finds will be on public display in the area where they were found, rather than being hidden away in the British Museum stores. </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: darkred">Thank you so much for all your help with promoting our &#039;coin appeal&#039; and spreading the word - we are really delighted that it has attracted interest beyond Stroud and outside the UK. Thank you, and please pass on our thanks to those on the Moneta-L list and ACCG.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: darkred">All good wishes,</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: darkred">Abigail</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Although there seems to be little interest here regarding this...I will still post info on the coin fund once it has been established in case someone would like to donate. 100% of donations will go to small museums in need and, funds will only go to ancient coin related issues....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
