My prayers are with Mary Turner and her sons for the passing of her husband and their father, Vic Turner. My earliest memory of Vic was at the Coinival Show in 1996 when I met him at the first coin show I ever attended. At that time, he was the Club President and I found him to be a consummate ambassador for the club and hobby. He renewed my interest in the hobby and inspired me to join the club. Vic was amazingly well organized and always had good ideas. He will be missed by the many people who knew him. Eric Leonard, Past President and Webmaster |

 | $5 Redesigned Unveiled on September 20, 2007 by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the redesigned $5 bill has more color and new security features. |
Originally, the five wasn't going to be redesigned. But that decision was reversed once counterfeiters began bleaching $5 notes and printing fake $100 bills with the bleached paper to take advantage of the fact that some of the security features were in the same locations on both notes. | |

“The changing images in the Westward Journey Nickel Series™ lead us back to Thomas Jefferson, who envisioned the Louisiana Purchase and Lewis and Clark expedition as a way to move the Nation forward,” said United States Mint Acting Director David A.

| November Show and October Club Meeting cancelled due to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita |
| The November coin show, dubbed the Fall Show, is cancelled. Moreover, there will not be an October club meeting of the Crescent City Coin Club. An emergency Board Meeting was held on 10/7/2005 via teleconference. The discussions during that meeting are summarized below: 1) Fall Coin Show General consensus was to cancel the November coin show. Bob Eddy, President and Show Chairman, will contact the dealers and let them know. He will also send refunds to all who have made deposits. Linda Eddy, Corresponding Secretary, will get a general notice out to all on the mailing list (not sure how good the mailing list is at this time, since many people are spread-out around the country). It was decided not to have a meeting in October; consensus was there is probably not enough members in town or have more pressing matters this month. There was some damage to VFW Hall which will have to be repaired before we can have a meeting. Every effort will be made to hold a meeting in November. The restaurant that was scheduled for the dinner (La Cuisine) was severely flooded. Our reservation has been transferred to Johnny Trauth's Seafood Bistro in Kenner for the Christmas Dinner. More info on menu and cost to come. This issue is still unresolved. Two proposals are on the table and will be presented to the membership at the November meeting: 4a) Postpone elections until after January 2006. 4b) Carry-over the existing Officers and Board of Governors through 2006 and hold normal elections in November 2006. Other information provided by Rick Demers and Dale Toncrey: Vic and Mary Turner spent most of their "evacuation" with their son in Jacksonville, Florida. They are home now. They had no damage other then a stinky refrigerator. The shop was unharmed and was open for business 2 weeks after the storm. Robert and Judy Rongey they are fine, but his shop has some water damage. Bob and Debbie Reed are OK, but they had water damage to their home and their shop had a portion of the roof cave in. Steve Barnes is OK. Roger, Elizabeth, and Emily Green are safe, but their home suffered extensive flooding. Eric and Janet Leonard are safe and living in Houston. Brandon is with them and Erin is in Boston attending Northeastern University. She was visiting when they had to evacuate for Katrina and flew from Houston to Boston in time for the start of the Fall semester. |

| $50 Note Redesign | |
| On September 14, 2004, the United States government began circulating the redesigned $50 note. The most noticeable difference in the new design is the subtle introduction of background color including a full color flag, which makes it more burdensome for potential counterfeiters because it adds complexity to the note. The issuance of the new $50 note will be followed by a new $100 note in 2005. Decisions on new designs for the $5 and $10 notes are still under consideration, but a redesign of the $2 and $1 notes is not planned. |
| $20 Note Redesign | |
 | On October 9, 2003, the United States government began circulating the redesigned $20 note. The most noticeable difference in the new design is the subtle introduction of background color. |
