Former journalist from Pakrac, Jadranka KOSOR, shown at right, was

Eva
Perón is
featured on the 2001 bonos of Argentina from
Rioja Province.
Bonos are bond-like banknotes that have a specific life predetermined at
issue and act like local currency in that they usually
circulate in the specific area where they were issued.
We have catalogued
21
different national, provincial and municipal issuers in
Argentina starting in 19 85 and continuing until the present.
Most of these notes have a specific issue date referenced to
the authorizing legislation and an expiration date. Some
actually pay interest! The bonos of Argentina were begun
during a financial crisis but apparently have proved so
popular that they continue to be issued long after the primary
crises ended.
In addition to the plethora of bonos we have displayed, we
also have a series of
minichecks issued by various private banks in Argentina
during the administration of Juan Domingo
Perón Sosa, husband of Eva. These are different than bonos as they are true local currency
issues. Almost all of the bonos and minichecks have been
submitted by Dutch numismatist, William N. Keijzers
.
In addition to the Argentina bonos, William has also submitted
a number of other images with the most recent from Chile's
Nitrate Railroad Company private issues. We gratefully acknowledge
William for his outstanding support.

The
Pettinaro Brothers have just placed a Free Ad on the
LANSA
website. They offer a wide range of world paper money from
their site, World Banknotes Market Megastore, which is in both
in English and Italian.
Jordan's
Queen Rania is very popular in Jordan not only because of her
great beauty but for the excellent work she is doing in the
country. The
Jordan section has a total of 27 images, included is
a wonderful autographed image of Queen Rania sent in by Dr.
Márián Zoltán of Hungary.
Dr.Zoltán has collected autographed pictures
of world leaders and personalities for many years
and is currently looking for
the whereabouts of the former Sultan of Zanzibar, Jamshid bin
Abdullah. Readers with knowledge of the Sultan are encouraged
to write us and we will pass the information on.
Our sincere thanks go to specialist Mahdi Bseiso for his help
with this section.
Norway
section has
196 notes
displayed. Collectors who can provide images of 17th and
19th century as well as World War II Emergency issues are
encouraged to send them in so we can enhance this nice reference section.
Pictured is Kirsten Flagstad who has been called the "world’s most
dramatic soprano." She is featured on Norway's 100 Kroner banknotes
starting in 1995 through the
current 2003 issues. Norges Bank began first
picturing their revered personalities in 1877 with King Oscar II. In 1977
the first woman to appear on a Norway banknote was writer Camilla Collett,
who has been referred to as Norway's first feminist. Novelist and Nobel
laureate Sigrid Undset is pictured on the 500 Kroner notes starting in
1999.
Our sincere thanks go to the late Walter Jellum for
his help with this section.
Salt
Spring Island, Canada has released a new $$2 Dollar local
currency banknote using a beautiful
obverse design based on "The Sleeper" by Canadian artist and
sculpture, Kathy Vinter.
This is the first new release since issuing their beautiful
series of seven local currency issues in 2001-02. While local
currencies have been around a long time the
Salt Spring Isl and
issue is unique in that it is 100% backed by the Canadian
Dollar as well as being 20% backed by Canada Maple Leaf Gold
coins.
The 2002 $$100 Dollar issue features the late Kimiko Okano
Murakami, a Japanese Canadian who was sent to an internment
camp during WWII. Her family's land, property and possessions
were confiscated by the Canadian government and sold. But she
returned to Salt Spring in 1954 to farm again, and to be an
active and highly respected member of the community.
Ile A'Vache, HAÏTI
I am interested in
helping Haiti in a meaningful way and have been exploring the
use of computers for distance learning on Ile A'Vache.
As some
of you may know, Cow Island is where
Bernard Kock tried to start a colony in 1863. The project
had initial support from the Lincoln administration and while
Kock appeared to have had good intentions, the effort failed
when his financial backers stopped funding the operation.
Ile A'Vache is the island where "Blackbeard" based his pirate
ships for a period before moving them to Ocracoke, North
Carolina.

The island lies about 7 miles off the southern coast of Haiti
and is home to about 6,000 people. There are two nice hotels
that attract a good number of tourists, mostly from Europe but
there is virtually no economy, as does the rest of Haiti. A
small
organization doing big work on Ile A'Vache is the
Kakok Foundation
Anyone who
would like to participate with ideas, time or equipment,
please write me.

Another
excellent charitable organization is
Food For The
Poor, Inc. I have seen a number of their
projects in Haiti and as former President Clinton found
out on his recent trip, Haitians are a proud and unique people in
need of education and development, not handouts.
I did volunteer work for this organization and have seen
first hand that FFP is extremely efficient with their donor
contributions. They have the highest ◊◊◊◊
Charity Navigator rating.

I have been accused of
showing favoritism to women on this site. While it is true
that women have continued to expand equality in the developed
countries, much more is needed for women in the less developed
countries. The fact that girls and women continue to be sold in
slavery & prostitution remains a significant problem
in many areas of the world. (See video at left).
