    Just heard an interview on ABC radio with coin dealer Andrew Crellin about the Holy Dollar and Dump . It's 200th Anniversary.

    Don't have a link to the interview ,but this will refresh the memory on how important this coinage was to the early development of the colony.

    I think our local coin club is putting out a medallion to coincide with our 250th meeting.

    A good example just sold for a very tidy sum at auction, about $400,000 I think it went for.
