You're all very welcome

btw, I have a bit more info and pics on the AAFES pogs at the link in my sigline. Apparently they've since come out with another series or two. But.. getting them has been tough going, still harrassing everyone I know over there (might just have to go myself!)

PS for Nick--I still haven't been able to mail out your prizes, but hope to get them out in the next week!

So which series is my 25 cent "Gift Certificate" pog from???

spoon

Those, with denomination only and no picture, are the very first series. Only the 5, 10 and 25 cent pieces were part of it. The next series had pictures, but no date. The third has pictures and the date 2003 at top. And that's all I have myself so far. There is another page out there--www.aafespogs.com--that is much more comprehensive having all pictures (there are actually 5 sets now!) but not much in the way of writing. I think those guys are somehow connected with the program? I dunno, need to get around to contacting them!
