For a Young Numismatist

MoneyLA

Back on Jan 12, 1987 I met Donna Pope when she was visiting Los Angeles. I am a news reporter and interviewed her, and also got her to autograph a $1 bill that I had in my pocket (since autographing a coin would be a little difficult).

I forgot all about the bill-- and found it when I was going through some coins in my safe deposit box.

It's a $1 bill, series 1985 and almost CU -- but I folded it in half.

Perhaps a YOUNG NUMISMATIST could use this bill for a display, collection, Boy Scout project, whatever?

If so, please message me.

All I want in return is one dollar plus a self addressed stamped envelope... (and you have to name your next four grand children after me).

cheers, alan mendelson

That's what I was going to ask.

She is a former Mint director. She was the Mint director at the time we had our last chief engraver, Elizabeth Jones.

Sorry guys. I guess Im showing my age.

The bill is signed:

"Donna Pope, Director of the Mint 1-12-87"

I'll agree with the second part of that but unfortunately people <18 that have kids of their own is not all that uncommon. I've had them come into the hospital for delivery as young as just having turned 14.
