Display Showing Foreign Coins and a Bill Found on Florida Beaches.

In one post I presented a list of the foreign coins people have found on beaches, and I have also wondered asked what can be done with miscellaneous foreign coin finds. I received a couple of ideas, but the beautiful display shown above was made using coins found by one detectorist. Below is the email I received about that.
Thought you may want to share a project my wife and I did while observing the stay at home order. In detecting Florida beaches for a little over three years I have found hundreds of coins from other countries.
By using the free app Maktun we were able to identify most of the coins by simply scanning the front and back of each coin. After separating by country we chose a few samples of unusual or ornate coins from almost sixty countries. We then polished and mounted them in a push pin world map purchased from Amazon. If you notice for the United States we have a peace dollar, Indian head penny, mercury dime and a silver quarter. These were all found on beaches.
You may also notice a Saudi Arabian note that was found floating in the water.
It is amazing to think that in such a little time frame of detecting Florida beaches such a large number of different countries coins have been found. The two day project was an enjoyable escape from quarantine. Hopefully when things return to somewhat normalcy I will be able to add to it. We thoroughly enjoy your blog. Keep up the good work. Stay safe and healthy!

Thanks for sharing. That is a beautiful display.

A couple days ago I received an email from another reader mentioning his foreign coin and bill finds.
I have some ideas, but want to think about it some more. One person said that maybe teachers can use them. Maybe we can get organized and put them to good use.

In several posts I mentioned the Juana y Carlos, or anglicized, Joanna and Charles, coins minted in Mexico. Their names appearing together on those coins might seem to suggest that they were queen and king. Actually, Juana was the queen, and Carlos was her son.
Joanna (6 November 1479 – 12 April 1555), known historically as Joanna the Mad (Spanish: Juana la Loca), was Queen of Castile from 1504, and of Aragon from 1516. Modern Spain evolved from the union of these two crowns. Joanna was married by arrangement to Phillip the Handsome, Archduke of the House of Habsburg, on 20 October 1496. Following the deaths of her brother, John, Prince of Asturias, in 1497, her elder sister Isabella, in 1498, and her nephew Miguel, in 1500, Joanna became the heir presumptive to the crowns of Castile and Aragon. When her mother Quenn Isabella I of Castille died in 1504, Joanna became Queen of Castile, while her father, King Ferdinand II of Aragon, proclaimed himself 'Governor and Administrator of Castile'. In 1506 Archduke Philip became King of Castile jure uxoris, initiating the rule of the Habsburgs in the Spanish kingdoms, and died that same year. Despite being the ruling Queen of Castile, she had little effect on national policy during her reign as she was declared insane and imprisoned in Tordesillas, under the orders of her father, who ruled as regent until his death in 1516, when she inherited his kingdom as well. From 1516, when her son Charles I ruled as king, she was nominally co-monarch but remained imprisoned until her death. (Wikipedia)

If you are wondering what you've been missing, this is what Palm Beach looked like yesterday.
Thanks to Bruce Beck for the video I took this clip from.
Beach renourishment must be "essential" business.

Let's say you just ran through your last sixteen pack of super plush toilet paper that remained on an otherwise bare shelf the last time you went to the market and are out of canned beans and baby diapers and are running on your last nerve from being cooped up in a small apartment with three screaming kids, two dogs a cat, a husband that hasn't worked in three weeks, not to mention great grandma in her sick bed, and the "essential" people that still have their government jobs after sixty years of service are running around making your decisions because you aren't bright enough to decide for yourself think you should wear a mask if you go out even though you only have been able to find one to last you and the family until who knows when, but you still want to look like you have some dignity. You want to exhibit your flair for fashion when you go to one of Fort Pierce's finer establishments - let's say Publix rather than ALDI (you can't find a quarter to mortgage a shopping cart anyhow) - but when you strap on that ugly worn facemask your outfit is ruined. So what do you do?
First, I want you to know that you don't have to go out looking like you've been locked in a crazy box for the last three weeks or have never been to Fashion Week. Facemasks don't have to be unfashionable, dull or boring. They can be coordinated to augment your chosen look. Glitz it up for your hour and fifteen minutes out of the box. Select a veil that shows your style and flair, and slip it over your boring facemask. I personally like the one shown below. Muted black with gold trim, dangles and crystal adornment. Classy, but not over the top. Goes with almost anything.

Susan E. sent a thing showing that the mysterious toilet paper hoarding has been explained - people are eating their own cooking for the first time in years.

One side note: Yesterday Birx was asked to comment on the "rumor" that the reported COVID death numbers are inflated. She offered a shortened response that gave a slightly different tone than her previous explanation, but inspection of CDC guidance and further investigation did not dispel doubt about the reporting methods and accuracy and reliability of the numbers.

Maundy Thursday (also known as Holy Thursday, Covenant Thursday, Great and Holy Thursday, Sheer Thursday, and Thursday of Mysteries, among other names) is the Christian holy day falling on the Thursday before Easter. It commemorates the Washing of the Feet (Maundy) and the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles.
Critics of the Bible make much of the confusion caused by not understanding that the next day was considered to begin with the appearance of the stars rather than midnight or sunrise.
