 Yezid "Jessie" Acosta
received the
2008 LANSA
President's Award .
Jessie is a young man but has been collecting paper money since he
was 5 years old! As a long time Colombia and USA collector, we all look forward
to seeing the results of his continued dedication to the hobby.
In keeping with Jessie's collecting interest his certificate
incorporates some similar elements as Colombia P.450 as well as the
traditional ABNC Ceres, Goddess of Agriculture vignette. Please join
me in congratulating Jessie on this well deserved award.
