CONVICT LOVE TOKENS
Bill Fivaz wrote to say he has a copy of "Convict Love
Tokens : The Leaden Hearts the Convicts Left Behind."The article said: "The tokens were scratched in prison cells
on to the smoothed-out surface of copper pennies, just
36mm in circumference. Intended for sweethearts and family
members, they carry poignant messages heavy with despair."Nick Graver writes: "The article on Convict Love tokens
probably intended to say 36 mm in "diameter", as few coins
are ever measured around the edge! Not a big concern.
Just showing that we are somewhat awake. A very
interesting issue, and I intend to send it to several friends."- 2003-08-24
