Dear WBCC members and non WBCC members,

Welcome into the World of Bi-, Tri- and Tetra-metallics. I hope you enjoy reading this week's issue of the WBCC Newsmail

1. Bi-metallic stories……….by Frans Dubois, The Netherlands
In this time of crisis, there is little news for the WBCC Newsmail. It might be an idea to look up in your collection that Bi-metallic
that is special for you or has a special story to tell.
I propose to write an article about this special Bi-metallic and add a photo. In this way we can take note of the special  Bi-metallics 
in each others collection. I look forward to the various contributions! E'-mail to wbcc@hotmail.nl

2. My Bi-metallic story……….by Frans Dubois, The Netherlands
In 2016 the Warsaw Mint produced a special Bi-metallic for the 250th Anniversary of the foundation of the Mint, a so called klippe, a silver square piece.
This kind of Bi-metallics were made in the old times for special occasions. It is silver-proof, 40 x 40 mm and weights 28.28 gr
Because of the shape it is my special Bi-metallic


3. Bi-metallic 2 Euro 2020 from Finland……by Martin Peeters, The Netherlands
Just make public the reasons for which will be dedicated two commemorative 2 Euro 2020 Bi.-metallic that Finland has decided to issue this 2020.
One will be for this spring and the second end of the year.

The first, which it would have to be issued during the season of the year in which we find ourselves, be dedicated to the "Centenary of the University of Turku."
A coin collection of 100 euros minted in gold dedicated to the same motif was issued on 28 February. I say this because we have precedents that use the same
design for coins devoted to the same subject, so I leave the image, a montage made by me, could be virtually present design the commemorative 2-euro coin.
