Attention CSNS Members
ICC Member Vinton Dove is upfor election as an Officer in theCentral States Numismatic Society.
He would appreciate your vote.

Do you remember when Argentina invaded the tiny Falkland Islands (a BritishProtectorate) way back in 1982? Do you know the Argentine government doesn't
recognize the Islands as the Falklands? Do you know what they call the islands?
The Malvinas Islands.
In April, '82 Argentina forces invaded and occupied the islands, but by June 14th
British forces retook the Islands.
On the way to the 25th Anniversary of the war (2007) an unusual event occurredthat caused two coins to be struck commemorating Victory in the conflict (1 coinfor Argentina and 1 for the Falkland Islands).
Argentina issued a 30mm C-N 2 Peso coin. The obverse of this commemorative
features an Argentinean soldier with an Argentinean flag in the background. The
reverse of the coin honors its heroes of the war as the centerpiece with the words"MALVINAS ARGENTINAS" curving along the top rim above a centered "Islands." Instead of me telling you more about the coin, here's a photo courtesy ofworldcoingallery.com:

The Falkland Islands issued a 27mm 7-sided 50 Pence coin. The reverse of thiscoin pictures a map of the Falkland Islands and a British soldier carrying aUnion Jack (Protectorate Liberation Flag). Queen Elizabeth adorns the obverse.

January 25, 2010 - Minutes of the Indianapolis Coin Club Meeting.
Open - The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by the Club’s New President, JimRoehrdanz. 31 of the 35 people in attendance signed the attendance book. We met at theNorthside Knights of Columbus Hall, 2100 East 71st Street.
The Treasurer’s report and the Secretary’s report were accepted as reported in the newsletter.
Visitors – The visitors were Jerry and Lynn Hupp, and Shannon Hoskins, who is Shannon
Spears’ cousin.
Committee Reports – Matt Dinger reported that the ICC Show committee was attempting toplan a coins show with a date in May, and that a budget was approved at a special meeting ofthe Board of Directors.
Old Business – SPECIAL NOTE – Joe Boling’s presentation in November was titled “ItalianNorth African conversion to Silver Certificates” and was about paper money.
New Business – Don King suggested that the Club should assist the local Boy Scouts in earning a merit badge for collecting coins. After a short discussion, Matt Dinger, Tom Ferverda,
Kurt Miller and Vinton Dove volunteered to help Don with the project.
The Educational Program – The new President presented the evening’s program, titled“Hawaiian Coinage.” Jim gave a history of the islands including the background of the coinsproduced in 1845 and 1883. The Dollar coin is the rarest, with the mintage limited to approximately 40,000 coins, and the half-dollar is also quite scarce. In 1898 the islands were annexedby the United States, and the first Governor was named Dole. Jim displayed examples of thedifferent Hawaiian coins.
After the break, the 50/50 Drawing was run by Club Treasurer, Don King.
Auction – Joe Boling did his usual good job running the auction. There seemed to be an unusually large number of lots, and most of them sold.
The club adjourned at 8:56 PM.
Respectfully submitted, Vinton Dove, Secretary
