Hi, Folks, (Dated September 18, 1996)

From some members of the Woldwide Bi-metallic Collectors Club (WBCC) I've
nice suggestions and informtion. Thank!

Czech Republic

The Czech Republic has made a Bi-metallic 50 Korun in 1993, 1994, 1995 and
in 1996. In 1994 till 1996 the are only in a set avalaible and it is hard
to get them. Now I have a Dealer adress in Czech Republic to order them:

Ivo Cerny
P.O. Box 19
69504 Ho Donin Czech Republic

Poland and Russia

Poland and Russia are not planning to make anymore Bi-metallics

False 10 Francs
In France there are some FALSE Bi-metallic 10 Francs pieces. A stainge this
is that in several years they are made. 1998 till 1993 (6 years).
The FALSE pieces are good to recognise because the lettering and metallic
contacts are bad.
The French Mint has earlier started a campaign to get ride of these FALSE
pieces. They even have made an info-brochure to warn the people. Personal I
have 2 FALSE 10 Francs pieces 1988 and 1990 and the info-brochure.

Krause and Mishler catalog
When you look in the KM catalog for French Bi-metallics it's completly
wrong. There are many pieces they don't mention. In my own catalog, which I
will send every member of the WBCC, you can see a them complete as
possible. Israel

There are several Bi-metallic 10 New Shequalim's from Israel.

1995, Palm Tree
1995, Palm Tree in a Touristic Set 1995, Palm Tree, Piefort Set. 1995, Gold
Meir
1995, Hannuka Lamp

This information is from: Ron Shalgi

There seem to be an Piefort 10 Shequalin 1996. No conferming yet.

Mexico 5 Peso 1992

From the Bi-metallic Mexican 5 Peso 1992 are several pieces. At the bottom
of the denomation side there are two masks/head dresses facing each other,
it is here that the coins differ from each other. One has the balls attched
to the head dress with a line trough each of the balls. An othet piece has
the balls detached and no lines across the balls.

A little (risky) story.... !

Some weeks ago I saw an advert in an American Coin Magazin (World Coin
News). In this advert there did I read that the Bi-metallic Canadian Test
Token 1996 costs 75 US Dollars. I took some risks and I send 75 US Dollars
in an envelope (!!) to Canada.

This week I've got the Test Token. I want you to who that relayble dealer
was:

J & M Coins and Jewellery Co.
106 W Broadwy, Vancouver, B.C. V5Y IP3
Canada

Maybay some members of the WBCC have Bi-metallics to exchange. Plesae let
