GEOGRAPHY LESSON

Philip Mernick writes: "Although not numismatic, subscribers
may be interested in the amazing Google Earth web site.
There is a free version that enable you to zoom in on a country
(ANY COUNTRY!), even tilt the map to see the topography.
Resolution is variable, but in many cases you can zoom in close
enough to see the road system and then overlay the street names
or look at major buildings. Once you get to understand how it
works you will be amazed what you can do with it. Apart from
wanting to look at your own home town/state etc, collectors of
coins from exotic places will also find it an excellent world atlas."

[I think some of you will have fun with this. I've been amazed
at the related functionality of maps.google.com. -Editor]
