PHILLIPINE NUMISMATIC EXHIBIT OPENS

On Tuesday the Sun-Star of The Philippines published an article
about a new numismatic exhibit:

"The Heritage Museum of Philippine Coins and Paper Money launched
an exhibit at the NCCC Mall, showcasing Philippine currencies used
from the Spanish colonial period up to the present.

"Rene Adapon, numismatist for more than 20 years now, told Sun-Star
Davao Monday that the exhibit aims to raise awareness among Filipinos
regarding the currencies of the country during the Spanish colonial
period, the revolutionary period, American regime, Japanese, and
Philippine Republic.

"'Yesterday (On Sunday), a lot of (pupils) were here with their
parents. We understand that the exhibit is part of their lessons.
Their parents were also educated because they were the ones taking
down notes for their children,' Adapon said.

"'For the past few days, a lot of visitors who came from as far as
Cotabato City, General Santos City, and Tagum City were amazed at
what they saw here, Adapon said.

"The exhibit, which opened August 7, will last until August 15, at
the ground level of NCCC Mall.

"The exhibit showcases about 56 frames of Philippine currencies.
Adapon said his Philippine collection is part of his total
collections of more than 200 currencies."
