PORTLAND CONVENTION NOTES
Howard A. Daniel III writes: "I will be manning a club table
at the American Numismatic Association National Money
Show in Portland, Oregon from March 26th through the 28th.
The table will be for the Numismatic Bibliomania Society
(NBS), Numismatics International (NI) and the International
Bank Note Society (IBNS), where I will be handing out free
coins and notes to school children, promoting the societies,
and encouraging adults to join them.There is no NBS meeting scheduled at the show but all
members are invited to the Numismatics International (NI)
meeting and educational forum on March 27th (Saturday)
at 12 Noon where dealer and researcher of Asian monies,
Scott Semans, will give a talk titled "Successful Formats for
Numismatic Books." There will also be a show and tell part
to the meeting where you can show and describe a favorite
book (or numismatic piece), or something you just bought at
the show. You can find the meeting room number in the
show schedule.I will also be moderating a meeting and educational forum
for the International Bank Note Society (IBNS) on the same
day at 11AM in the same room as for NI. I will be the
speaker at this meeting where I will describe and show North
Vietnamese Army (NVA) military coupons (much like U.S.
Military Payment Certificates) used on the Ho Chi Minh Trail
during the Vietnam War. There will also be a show and tell
at this meeting for all attendees.NBS members are invited to both meetings, but especially
the NI meeting because Scott Semans will be speaking about
his recommendations for creating numismatic catalogs. A
special invitation has also been made for the Chopmarked
Coin Collectors Club and Philippines Collectors Forum to
also attend both meetings.NBS members and all others are also invited to visit the club
table and use it for leaving messages for other NBS members,
meeting others there, or just to take a break and rest. If an
NBS member finds a prospective member at the show, please
send them to the booth and I will convince them to join us, or
at least to sign up for The E-Sylum. If you have any questions,
please contact me at Howard at SEAsianTreasury.com"- 2004-03-14
