8 Short Snorter Notes Placed In Circulation At Portland ANA National Money Show

Hope springs eternal. He was hoping for both exposure on the news ("Hey, there's a money show in town") and something for the short snorter people - a story explaining what a short snorter is.

There is a nice exhibit at Portland that has been around in a couple different versions with sigs from lots of famous people. My favorite (which I think is new) was the case relating three relatively famous women[Mrs. Roosevelt was one] through notes that they signed.

There is a cool virtual museum here: http://www.shortsnorter.org/virtual...rectory.html

Thanks for the explanation and link, BStrauss3. I still don't understand it, any more than I understand those folks that drop rare cents or gold coins around Christmastime. If you want to anonymously donate, just give money. If you want to raise awareness about short snorters, just mark up a few new notes with some info that advertises the coin show or a web site. It seems to me a shame to gamble and lose an artifact to ignorance (of the folks that simply don't understand what's in their hands).

I'm with jimbucks; I think it is a highly questionable move that will lead to an ironic result.
