The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 38, September 17, 2000, Article 6 RIGHTS TO ANDREWS NUMBERS Terry Trantow writes: "I have been a collector of Australian/ New Zealand coins and tokens since 1962, and just obtained a copy of the year 2000 (19th edition) of 'RENNIKS Australian Coin & Banknote Values'. While it is unfortunate the catalog does not include New Zealand and Tasmanian tokens (as it did in the past), it also does not include Andrews Numbers (used since c.1921 or so) in this new edition. [Editor's note: Trantow refers to a different Andrews than the subject of the "Devastating Reviews" piece.] A fellow Australian collector relates to me the reason that Andrews numbers were not included was due to restrictions by an American holder of their copyrighted use, about which I know nothing. The unfortunate outcome of this situation is that there are now four different catalog numbers (Andrews,Heyde, Renniks, and the NEW Renniks numbers issued for the Australian trade tokens. The Australian Numismatic Society (ANS) has published a listing of the various old/new catalog numbers of each variety, but there remain some problems when an individual piece is given an incorrect catalog number. Any information a reader or member can offer as to the rights for the Andrews numbers will be welcomed."
