The E-Sylum:  Volume 4, Number 33, August 12, 2001, Article 14

FEATURED WEB PAGE 

   This week's featured web page is Rodney Sell's Hong Kong 
   Numismatic Literature page.   "I seriously started collecting 
   Hong Kong coins in 1975 and immediately tried to find good 
   reference books.  There did not appear to be any available 
   and I had difficulty obtaining information on any books that 
   had been published. 

   I have since discovered that the first catalogue to be 
   published on Hong Kong Currency was by my friend 
   Antonio B. de Sousa who now lives in Melbourne Australia. 
   It has taken me till August 1997 to get a copy of this catalogue 
   which is shown amongst the items listed..." 

   One interesting title is "The Banknote That Never Was" by 
   Francis Braun (1982, 138 pages, hard cover), the story of 
   emergency bank notes printed at the end of WW II but 
   never actually issued.   [Quiz question: who can name other 
   books or pamphlets on the sole subject of a numismatic 
   item which was never released by the issuing government?]
