BIAFRA ARTICLE PUBLISHED 

   NBS member and E-Sylum subscriber Ben Keele's article on 
   Biafran numismatics has been published in the February issue 
   of The Numismatist.  It is entitled "Biafra's Short-Lived 
   Monetary  System" and can be found starting on page 164. 

   In his introduction, he writes: "Not long ago, while visiting 
   a local coin dealership, I noticed a Biafran 1-pound note. 
   It was inexpensive and looked interesting, so I bought it. 
   Later, when I attempted to find out about my new acquisition, 
   I was disappointed by the lack of information in hobby 
   literature.  To fill the gap, I researched Biafra and its money 
   in books and contemporary periodicals."
