Phil W. gave the monthly presentation on U.S. Currency. The program was outstanding and very attention grabbing. Many types of bills were presented and discussed and additionally printing press types and manufacturing methods were also covered. Lets give a big hand to Mr. Phil and his very good presentation. Way to go!
