A Few Words From Your Pr esident
The Central States show in Schaumburg last month was well worth the trip from myperspective. With a couple of ICC Board members on board for the long one-day drive bothways, we all had decent success in acquiring some of the things on our want lists. We did see
a few Club members walking the bourse as well. Mark August 13-17 on your calendar for the
next big Chicago-area show, the World's Fair of Money, which is put on by the ANA. It always
seems to be a good show, with the U.S. Mint, several world mints, and the usual number ofregional and national dealers on hand.
Last Monday I gave a coin collecting presentation to a fifth grade class at Allisonville
Elementary school, as I have done for the past several years. I thought it went very well. The
ANA sent several handouts for distribution along with a roll of wheat cents, bookmarks,
pencils with ANA information, an old Red Book, and a few other items. From these about 25
packets for the students were produced, and I chipped in an Indian Head cent and an
uncirculated note from a foreign country along with information about the Club. Several raw
and slabbed coins were displayed along with a proof set, a set of statehood quarters, andsome large size U.S. notes. Questions were plentiful, and a few expressed interest in
attending a Club meeting. I hope that we might see them at one of our next meetings.
I was quite surprised last weekend when I used a "golden dollar " to make a purchase at aconvenience store (no, it was NOT for a lottery ticket). The clerk said that was the 14th suchdollar that she had received for a purchase in just 2 or 3 days. While it was not surprising thatshe knew what it was right away, I would never have guessed that many would be used by thegeneral public in that period of time. I doubt it is the beginning of a trend, however.
Although I am unable to attend tonight's meeting, I hope that you plan to be there. VP Andy
Nahrwold will be running things, so please give him your full attention. And a special "ThankYou" is due to Donn Wray for volunteering to give our educational talk on short notice due toa guest speaker needing to adjust his schedule. Bring a friend or relative along to themeeting, and thanks for being an ICC member.

Australian $50 note typo: spelling
mistake printed 46 million times
by Naaman Zhou

46 million of Australia?s new $50 notes have been printed with a typo, theReserve Bank has confirmed.
The ?new and improved? $50 banknote was rolled out in October last year, with ahost of new technologies designed to improve accessibility and prevent
counterfeiting.
But the yellow note also contains a typo that misspells the word ?responsibility?.

The note features the Indigenous writer and inventor David Unaipon on one
side, and Edith Cowan, Australia?s first female member of parliament, on theother ? as it has since 1995.
The RBA has printed ?micro-text? on the note with excerpts of Unaipon?s book,
Legendary Tales of the Australian Aborigines, and Cowan?s first speech toparliament.

The small error occurred on Cowan?s side, in the text of her speech.
?It is a great responsibilty [sic] to be the only woman here, and I want toemphasise the necessity which exists for other women being here,? it says.
On Thursday, an RBA spokeswoman said the bank was ?aware of it and thespelling will be corrected at the next print run?.
Australia, in 1988, was among the first countries to use polymer banknotes.
Compared with paper notes, polymer has increased durability and security andmakes it easier to include features to help those who are vision-impaired.
The new $50 introduced a tactile feature of four raised bumps on the banknote
to help people identify it. All Australian notes are different sizes and colours for
similar reasons.
According to the RBA, the $50 note is the most widely circulated banknote.
Updated $5 and $10 notes have already been released, and a new $20 isscheduled for October this year.

Jim or Andy. It is a very small time commitment.
