1150 Years of the French Mint
Collin Bruno forwarded these five videos on the 1,150th anniversary of the French Mint. They are in French, of course, but do have a look - they're very well produced.

"Weird Al" Yankovic - Word Crimes

Fred Michaelson forwarded this AWESOME video from "Weird Al" Yankovic. Yes, he's still around. Who knew?While not numismatic, "Word Crimes" is delight for bibliophiles, "wordies" and grammar police alike. Watch it twice! Congrats to Jarrett Heather, who designed and animated the video, a parody of Pharrell's infectious "Happy."
