<p>[QUOTE="Travlntiques, post: 2822475, member: 39129"]That entrance doesn't just mimic a bank vault either, it was actually taken from a real bank down in Florida and hauled to DC. A lot changed to the Smithsonian collection when Jeff Garrett helped to do an over-haul on it recently enough....the old exhibit apparently was pretty pathetic. Bill Gross, the past Pimco CEO is the one who revamped the philatelic display and I guess it was pretty nice to start with. Sad that the Stamp collectors had it so good and us coin folk were left out in the cold. </p><p>Cheers to Jeff & his wife for always being such good promoters of our hobby![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
