Some of you who have known me for awhile might recall my mentioning early this year that I did a large deal of foreign coins...66 tons of them. I couldn't say a lot at the time about the deal but now I can.
All 66 tons of these coins were Iraqi...mint sewn bags, confiscated by allied forces in Iraq, then sold to raise money for a local orphanage. I was offered the deal and contacted a promoter friend of mine who happens to be a heck of a good guy. Here is the result.
Read all about it and enjoy the warm feeling that you'll get knowing coins from an evil dictator are being used for such a good purpose.
I feel great every time I think about it. I'm very proud to have been a small part of this.
Lee Greenwood just signed on as the spokesperson...very cool.

By the way I'm not trying to sell anything, here. I have no ownership and no vested interest in the sale of these items.

Great story!

I wonder how many coins it takes to add up to 66 tons.

I haven't seen anything in the news media to broadcast this good news story. Has anyone else?

There would obviously be quite a few coins in 66 tons, but it will take that many to help these families. I hate to think about fatherless (or motherless) children at the hands of Islamic Terrorists, but it is happening every day. We need to do all we can to help out these families. Let's support this effort!

I've tried to research a little bit and I found that they are starting a national marketing campaign later this month. I hope it blows up as the next national phenomenon!
