NEW BOOK: BANKNOTES SALVAGED, 2026

In early March this year, several paper money collectors alerted me to the crash of a Lockheed C-130 Hercules in Bolivia with a consignment of 10, 20, & 50 Bolivianos on board. A frenzy of about 20,000 people attempted to cart off some of some the 60,000+ banknotes spewed about La Paz airport wreck site.

The question universally asked was "Do you want to add this to "Banknotes Salvaged, Looted, or Lost by Shipwreck"? The fascinating story of the Bolivian loss was too much and I jumped down the rabbit hole! The number of losses logged had now grown from 36 in 2022 to now 57 and it was time to release a updated book with an updated title to include any form of transit.
