Winesteven Pillar of the Community United States 697 Posts	Posted 09/01/2023 4:05 pm While I regularly post and read the U.S. Coin forum as I'm a "coin guy", I don't read this particular forum. However, I came across the below article, and found it fascinating, and believe some of you might enjoy it. My apologies if this has already appeared here, as this article appeared in my paper a few weeks ago. Steve A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25152 Posts	Posted 09/01/2023 5:06 pm Thank you, Winesteven! This article appeared in the Wall Street Journal - paywalled, so I kept looking. It's based on an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science - also paywalled. But I did find this one that's a bit easier on the eyes: How Benjamin Franklin fought money counterfeiters Blue threads and muscovite, a reflective mineral, were incorporated into paper bills https://www.sciencenews.org/article...ounterfeiter Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
