The other day I noticed a website selling 1/10th-oz Canadian Maple Leaves... Leafs... more than one Canadian Maple Leaf coins at a slight discount because the items had scratches, nicks, bruises and abrasions. I smiled over the lack of sale-offers for circulated specimens... and thought how the term 'dime-a-rand' never made it into common use. I hope things go well for folks. DD

You tried! Things are good here in NH. Retired from the stress last year and haven't regretted it yet. I hope you are also enjoying life. Mike H

You tried! Actually, Mr Herlihy, I didn't search at all... my memory is, admittedly, porous but I recalled Serious Remonstrations sent towards me when I expressed what seemed to be heretical views about What Is Money. >Things are good here in NH. Retired from the stress last year and >haven't regretted it yet. I hope you are also enjoying life. Most pleasant to hear and most gracious of you... things here roll right along, disgustingly well, aye. DD
