Dear Ms. Snow:

Your recent email about finding a "good home" for your 1,350 pieces of 
currency was brought to my attention today.  In Library Special Collections 
at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill we have an active 
numismatic collection that numbers in excess of 10,000 specimens.  While 
the majority of our collection involves United States money and, more 
specifically, southern currencies, we also have thousands of pieces that 
represent countries throughout the world.  In addition to researching and 
documenting each specimen, we regularly offer numismatic exhibitions or 
include selections of domestic and foreign currencies in a wide range of 
social, economic, and political displays we present in the Louis Round 
Wilson Library.

We are interested in learning more about your collection and finding out 
whether you are seeking to maintain the collection intact as a full, 
donated transfer to another institution or whether your repository is 
seeking a buyer for the collection either in whole or parts.  Thank you.

Respectfully yours,

R. Neil Fulghum
