    I like that one !

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    That's one honorable woman.

    I'm proud to volunteer for the Special Olympics she is single handedly responsible for. She's given millions the opportunity to experience being treated with dignity.

    So I happened to be at dinner in DC with US Mint officials when the Special Olympics coin was released (totally unrelated project) and the Director said sales were flat. So I suggested they add a checkbox in their extensive print ad campaign to NOT deliver the ugly coin to the buyer but to present it to a disabled child instead. I was shocked he actually adopted my suggestion-don't know how many extra coins were sold that way, but better than none. If someone has an old publication with such an ad, please send me a photo.

    No longer own this one but like the design...

    Here's another 1930 but from London. Very rare to find a 1925 or 1930 London so free of bag marks due to the long assembly-line post striking process at the RM,
