I had to miss the January Nummis Nova dinner meeting on Tuesday due to an unexpected family matter. Our theme was alternative currencies. I had been planning to bring several items from my collection to show. I'll save most of them for next month, but I put images of some of my Labor Exchange items together with Steve Whitfield's great branch #1 note in the previous article.

But so we can all share in some of the fun, I asked folks to send us images of some of their show-and-tell items. First, a few beauties from David Schenkman.

Wow - check out that chin! A great condition piece.

Well, there are at least two other tokens picturing coffins. We pictured them in the April 15th E-Sylum, from the collection of Eric Schena's wife Heather.
