Title: Short Snorter
Post by: TwoShadows on March 21, 2008, 10:04:41 AM

Just read a story from Numismatic News concerning the origin of short snorters and it has given me an idea. I suggest we do two KOTCT World Short Snorters with the idea of covering as many member nations as possible. Then we place one on Ebay and one here to raise funds. This will take a tad bit of time so I will lay out the progression of the notes and when we will start. Will post more as quicky as I can determine the who, how, whats and whys! Should be fun!

Could be a slight technical hitch with not being able to fit all signatures on it? Would have to be a big note!

Anyone have one of those big Russian notes to spare?

If everyone wrote at a moderate size, and we could also sign on the back, I think it would work.   But, the question remains... who's currency do we use?

I'm not trying to start the men off on anything here, but 'who's got the biggest.

I am thinking the big sell will not be the names but the fact the snorter has been autographed in 10 nations or more? Maybe I am just dreaming but I doubt that has ever been pulled off before? Knights and Knightesses from around the world sound good to me? :)

Hi Terry, I was thinking about a suitable sized note to accommodate all the signatures.
Vain men step aside.
