Collecting coins- Museum Asian Coin Collections in North America

I have visited several museum collections, including the ANA in Colorado Springs, which houses the best library on Asian coins in North America; the Smithsonian collection in Washington, where they had just received a fabulous Chinese Paper Money collection - 10 cowboy boot-sized boxes of Chinese paper money; the ANS in New York, where I got to spend a day with Rose Chan Houston discussing the Chinese spade money and knive money of their fabulous collection; the Asian collection at Yale, which has the distinction of being the only good Asian coin collection that I know of which was formed strictly from coins (and other pieces) in circulation; the ROM collection in Toronto, where I got really shocked; the start of the Bank of Canada Museum in Ottawa, which is absolutely wonderful; and the Nickle collection at the Glenbow Museum in Calgary. All of these collections are worthy of their own posting. All of the museums were memorable in some way, and most had incredibly fabulous people involved with collecting coins and paper money.
