WILL COINS BE IN FOUNDATION OF NEW FREEDOM TOWER?

Dick Johnson writes: “Now that all the bad news about the
Freedom Tower dollars is over, we learn of a numismatic
connection to the old buildings. The good news, but without
fanfare, is that they have begun building the new Freedom Tower.

In a story in the New York Times (Friday November 4, 2005)
we learn that in 1966 when the old buildings were first being
built "John M. Kyle, the chief engineer of the Port Authority,
threw in a silver dollar, a 100-lire coin from Italy, a 5-franc
coin from France and a British penny."

Anyone want to contribute a coin for the foundation of the
new Freedom Tower?”
