The December 21, 2023 meeting at the American Legion Post #2 was the annual holiday party/dinner. At the November 16, 2023 meeting at the American Legion, Ken F. spoke about "Confederate Currency and its place in the Civil War." This was reportedly a great talk with great attendance! At the October 19, 2023 meeting at the American Legion, Todd spoke about the American Banknote Company (ABNC) and their colorful and rich history. At the September 21, 2023 meeting at the American Legion, according to Todd, "We did a 'guess that flag' and talked about the BSA merit badge test for coin collecting." In addition, the meeting likely featured a brief report on the successful coin show held the previous Saturday (September 16). Reportedly, "the dealers had a great time in a bigger venue [at the AMVETS Post #1]." At the August 17, 2023 meeting at the American Legion, Mike and Barbara Patton were the guest speakers. Mike had a very interesting regional history lesson for us, and Barbara did a short talk about what she “LOVES” to collect. A private BBQ dinner for club members and guests was held on Saturday, July 29, 2023. At the June 15, 2023 club neeting at the American Legion, Todd spoke about his visit to North Carolina, tour of the USS North Carolina, and visit to Fort Fisher. The show-and-tell did not have a specific theme or topic. The May 18, 2023 club meeting at the American Legion featured a round-robin (round table?) discussion, and the show-and-tell topic was "imitation money." At the April 20, 2023 club meeting at the American Legion, Mike Z. gave us a talk on “Jordanian Currency.” At the March 16, 2023 club meeting at the American Legion, Todd gave part 2 of his report on his trip to New Orleans and his visit to the “old” New Orleans mint.
