I read the article today and the thing that really inspired me was the fact that this guy, who I don't know from Adam, by the way, has a 'Psuedonym' to protect his anonymity. Thats way cool.
So he not just some geek coin collector, see, or some elitist snob, hes more like some kind of numistmatic secret agent traveling to various bourse floors around the country in disguise, frequently visiting a safe deposit box in anytown USA filled with a dozen passports from 9 countries and a gun like some kind of Matt Damonesque-Bourne Identity guy. One can imagine hes also wicked good at karate.
Up until I read that article, and ignoring for a moment the famous Hawaii Five-O 'Hundred Thousand Dollar Nickel' episode about 30 years ago, I would have figured a numismatic themed movie was out of the question. Now I'm seeing 'Jack Ackerman, Numismatist' as potentially a vehicle for Harrison Ford.
Maybe.
