Kroll sent the following letter announcing his donation: Editor, Concerning the donation drive for the ANA's 34th Summer Seminar, 2002, I will again do the challenge of matching CASH donations up to $250.00. I have to say a BIG Thank You for all the folks who donated in the past and ask all the "GRAMSTERS" to pitch in for this event. It was a great experience and the fist time that I had been there, more to follow on that in a few days. Have to regroup from the trip and sort out all that happened, and they were exciting. Harold"Mpckid"Kroll Feller made a cash donation to the fund. Both donations are of course greatly appreciated and constitute a great start to the new fund along with the money left from the 2001 fund. All donations will be greatly appreciated and will serve the hobby. See the information below details on sending your donation of cash or material. =============================================== Editorial ----------------------------------------------- I am completely demoralized about this Gram. I had Gram 392 completely ready for transmission yesterday and somehow lost every part of it! This has never happened before. The following Gramsters had items in the "lost gram": Ken Berger, Tom Koch, Warner Talso. Hopefully each of you can retransmit your materials. I am very sorry about this. Today is Bastille Day, the ultimate French holiday. I had planned on a special French edition for this special holiday, but the above problems ruined all plans. Now, I have noting French to offer except good wishes to Frenchmen everywhere! ============================================== Mail Call ----------------------------------------------- Dear Gram, Per Joe Boling's column: The £10 black and white Bank of England note illustrated in Pick volume II edition 9 on page 547 is a Leeds branch note and branch notes used a different system of prefixes from London notes. The £10 prefixes for London issues were as follows:- 01 to 99 from 1912 to 1921 K K 01 to 99 from1921 to 1932 L L K to K from 1932 to 1938 100 195 L to L from 1938 to 1942 101 141 So your £10 dated 16 March 1935 with prefix K/144 is correctly within the run of notes issued from 1932 - 1938. I have a copy dated 17 August 1935 with prefix K/153. However I would be very suspicious about this note turning up without any folds or creases. Most of them have been ruined by the scourge of pressing or washing. I spent a very long time trying to find one in its original condition. Regards, Laurence Pope IBNS #7037 Gramsters, I am typing this email in Singapore's airport while I am waiting for a plan to Ho Chi Minh City. Keep your fingers crossed that I find some good "stuff" during the next two weeks. Keep the home fires burning for me. Howard A. Daniel III Dear Howard, Yes, yes, yes, bring me home some goodies! Editor In response to Bill K's question regarding JAPWANCAP stamps on JIM...I think this question is a set-up, but I'll bite. All seminarians should be able to answer this question, as it was covered in detail by Joe Boling. After the liberation of the Philippines, many people had quantities of JIM, for which they had hoped would be redeemed during Japanese reparations. An organization was formed called the Japanese War Notes Claimants Association of the Philippines. They collected the notes and issued receipts for the amounts deposited in the hope that the notes would be redeemed. When Japan failed to redeem the notes, the association tried to sue the United States, claiming that Allied counterfeits had undermined the value of the currency. The US Supreme Court dismissed the suit due to expiration of the statute of limitations. Leave it to the US Supreme court to find a loophole. According to SB, the US government never addressed the allegations that it had counterfeited the currency. Of course the easier answer to Bill K's question would have been...it's in the book! Remembered, pg. 629. I have about 40 or so of the 100 Peso Rizal Monument notes with the JAPWANCAP stamp. For a SASE each Gramster may have one, just email me at coinpro@excite.com to reserve it. On an interesting note, I just picked up a couple of JIM allied counterfeit notes with the JAPWANCAP stamp on them, lending credibility to their claims. W. E.
