Corrections to the April 22, 2012 Issue
Ken Spindler noticed my ham-handed editing of the article about Canadian coin technology. So did our webmaster Bruce Perdue, who fixed the problems before posting the issue on our web archive. Thanks!

Ken also noticed the typo in Tom Fort's note, which read: " The cheque paid to Superman's creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster for the rights to their creation sold at auction for $160.00."

Of course, that was supposed to read "$160,000" not $160.00". Sorry I forgot to fix that one. At least I got the headline straight!

Here's an item I found interesting this week, and there is a numismatic connection.The early Acts of Congress include all of the important legislation authorizing the United States Mint and establishing the U.S. coinage system. How's this for a provenance! It will be interesting to see what this copy brings at auction.
