<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8190343, member: 100459"]0Thanks, guys. When I was in college, I signed up for Air Force ROTC, thinking I would become a pilot and if health and luck stayed with me, maybe I could become an astronaut. I barely passed the physical for being too tall. (I'm 6'2") I took and passed the written exam. I always wanted to be a pilot, then go on to be a test pilot. However, luck would have it, the Vietnam War ended and pilots were rifted. I was told that if I had signed up, with my degrees in accounting, CPA, MBA, etc. I was told that I would probably end up in finance. I thanked them, and told them, I wanted an office that had a 360 degree visibility. So, what did I do? I went to work in state government as an auditor. I know it isn't as interesting as being a pilot, but you wouldn't believe how many crooked people think they are smarter the a state auditor. Prisons are full of them.</p><p>Back to Apollo 11, I bought all the coins and medals the Mint offered. I got a couple from Canada, but stopped at that. I love the 3 pictures the Mint sold, and so many other things. </p><p>Are other countries still minting any Apollo coins? What would be the best way to find out what is available so I can fill some empty slots?</p><p>Another thought... Have any of you watched Apollo 19? I won't tell you what it is about, but if you want to scare yourself, check it out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
