Other topics this week include digital numismatic images, Large Cents, paper money artist Walter Shirlaw, Mint Director Nellie Tayloe Ross, rare 
Confederate currency, Pakistan's State Bank Money Museum, the coins of Gladiator II, trained dogs, medals for Wes Moore and Tom Cruise, and the superpower of reading and research.



To learn more about military tokens, the coinage of Sri Lanka, Islamic coinage, the Osborne Coinage Company, vasilopita, Dan Holmes, Ed Fulwider,  
Claude Proulx, the First Wednesday Numismatic Study Group, another early Confederate States of America note, raw edges, new designs for the $5 through $100 bills, and the Standing Liberty Half Dollar, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
