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

1. Meeting WBCC members....by Cliff Anderson, USA
These photos were taken when WBCC member Ray Lockwood visited New Orleans in August 2005.  He met with member Cliff Anderson in Anderson's home in August 2005, just before Hurricane Katrina. (Thus, the pictures were lost for a while and just now came to light again.) Unfortunately, neither Ray nor Cliff can remember what the coin was that Ray is pointing to!

5. The WBCC Bi-metallic Quiz Game #582.......by Jack Hepler, USA
The largest mammal migration in the world is that of the Serengeti wildebeest. Huge scores of these antelopes congregate on the East African savannas. The wildebeest, also known as the gnu is a large antelope (genus Connochaetes).  "Gnu" is likely an imitation of the wildebeest's characteristic grunting in the Khoikhoi language. A Bi-metallic coin of which African country has the image of a Wildebeest?
a.  Senegal
