1. A new WBCC member.......by Martin Peeters, WBCC Focal Point

2. Meeting with WBCC nember #24......by Jack Hepler, USA
After exchanging eMail and ideas all spring and summer, we finally got to
meet John Magruder, WBCC member #24. He said he discovered the club through
the Internet and I could see that he still has a passion for Bi-metallics
after all these years. John conceived and developed a project over the past
few months to encase US Quarters of Virginia as momentos of his Boy Scout
Troop #304 in Tappahannock, Virginia. With the help of Penny Press Mint and
a member of the WBCC, he was able to finish the project in June. We traded
stories of how we started collecting coins. I hope to see John again and
hear of more encasing or Bi-metallic projects. Here are two pictures of John
and a scan of the Boy Scout encased coin.
-- Remark WBCC Focal Point: This is really the spirit of the Worldwide
Bi-metallic Collectors Club. Members who meet and have passion for Bi-metallics.
I wonder if this would happen without the WBCC?

4. Bi-metallic from Euros from Sweden..by Rainer Specht, Germany
Here are two Bi-metallic euro-coins, which I produced in 2003, when Sweden

should be succsessful. So I prepared all eight coins after this Central Bank
