I might know some folks who could help identify the Korea pictures. I don't suppose you have scanner? (I'm guessing not, or else you'd have scanned the money) I have one, and a big flikr account which I use for academic purposes: I could do a little FrogInAWell bleg, if you like.

Oh, and my brother and I collected postcards that we never mailed. It was just a way to get great pictures of things that never looked that good when we took pictures of them....

I don't know anything about Confederate money, except that they printed a lot of it and it ended up being pretty worthless, I think.

Nope, no scanner. I.D. of the Korea locations could be very interesting. (There probably aren't more than a dozen that might offer clues for identification. There are a number of the "outside our tent" variety and a lot more of anonymous hilly areas. (Seriously, though, if it's a hassle, don't bother. Otherwise, send me your snailmail address and I'll send them along with my grateful thanks, and one of those Peace Dollars we talked about before.)

I sometimes buy postcards as "mementoes" but if I don't wind up putting them in a scrapbook or something, eventually I toss them out. (I make plans to create more scrapbooks than I ever actually create.)

I have no belief that any of this money is actually valuable to any extent. I'd like to get it into the hands of some collector or someone who would care about it, though, you know? Especially the fragile paper money. I know there are people who cherish such things.

You can get the address off the cv (on the right), and make sure you include yours so that I can send you back the originals and a CD-ROM.

I should have thought of that. :) Will do! I'll pop the ones that might be identifiable into an envelope and send them your way this week.
