WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM MAY 22, 2011

We have no new subscribers this week (as of Thursday, anyway). We have 1,425 email subscribers, plus 140 followers on Facebook, including Brandon Katrena and Norbert Wegmann.

This week's issue is brought to you with the able help of NBS webmaster Bruce Perdue, who filled in over the weekend while I traveled with my family. In a cold-turkey experiment, I left my laptop at home as a surprise to my wife, who figured they would someday need the Jaws of Life to pry it from my cold, dead hands. That or a six-foot power cord cable for the coffin.

So for the first time since September 4, 1998 I had to spend Sunday night watching my inbox like every other E-Sylum subscriber. Looks like it worked! Thanks, Bruce! I'll be back on the job next week, so keep your emails coming.

Topics this week include a very special numismatist's birthday celebration, the David Heuer collection, euro coin sizes and another attempt to make a true electronic currency. Have a great week, everyone.
