A Few Words From Your Pr esident
If you were able to attend our January meeting, I hope that you enjoyed Erik Lindseth's
educational talk titled "Numismatic Literature" as much as I did. I found it fascinating andcould have listened to him talk for much longer than our time budget allows. I hope that wecan have him in again sometime to speak to our Club about another subject of his choosing.
As we discussed at our January meeting, I urge all of our members to try to make it into ourmeeting room by 6:30 p.m. It appeared to me that there were more people than usual in theroom by that time last month, and I hope that this trend continues. While it is understandable
that not everyone can make it by then, the extra effort to come as early as possible is certainlyappreciated.
I will ask again tonight about how many members would be interested in hiring a bus for theCentral States show, which will be held April 24-27 (Wednesday through Saturday) inSchaumburg, Illinois. In round numbers, it would cost somewhere between $1,000 to $1,200
for the bus. Using the higher number, for 15 people it would be about $80/person and with
20, about $60/person. Also to be determined would be which day could be agreed upon. It is
likely a long shot, but we will give it one last attempt.
As we announced at our January meeting, Vinton Dove, our long-time Secretary, is resigningfrom that position so that he can become a "regular " member that will not require him totake on the time and responsibilities that come with those duties. Gary Selig volunteered tostep into that position, and he and Vinton will work to make that transition as smooth andtransparent as possible. Please help them in any way you can, and join me in saluting Vinton
for his many years of hard work.
I look forward to seeing you at tonight's meeting, and thank you for being an ICC member.

Jim Su k u p, Pr esiden t

Feder al Reser ve of f er s in t er act ive app f orsch oolch ildr en
Published in Coin WorldOn Jan. 16, the Federal Reserve Board announced the launch of its first interactive
public smartphone and tablet application. It is targeted at elementary school
students, to teach them about the security and design features of Federal Reserve
notes. The app is meant to be used with other material in the Fed?s Currency
Education Program at www.uscurrency.gov.
The app is called ?Money Adventure? and is available for download on iPhones andiPads now, and will be ready for Android devices later this year. Once downloaded, it
can be used without internet access. Lesson plans in English and Spanish areavailable for teachers to use with it.
The ?note front explorer ? shows a virtual $20 note that students can interact with to
examine its unique features. The ?note back explorer ? has a time-traveling game that
the Fed says incorporates augmented reality into learning and allows students tofollow ?Buck the Time-Traveling Dog? on his quest through the historical events
depicted on currency reverses.
The Currency Education Program is a Federal Reserve Board initiative that provides
users of U.S. currency around the world with access to education, training, andinformation about American paper money. The board manages the program incooperation with the Secret Service and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Its aim
is to raise awareness about the security and design features of U.S. currency.
