Mike, I tried to send an e-mail message to you personally but my server let me know that it (she? he?) could not find your host. Anywa, let's let the whole list know that I am pleased that you are going to try the sandwich method which I have seen in function a couple of times. (As to paper money, Robin is quite right). Re magnifying glasses which are very helpful, at least for connaisseurs, perhaps you can find a sponsor to buy you some cheap ones, possibly for the visitors to take home (something to remind them of your museum). Good luck to you in solving the problem of making coins interesting to non-numismatists.
