Sigh.  Another one I really want, but the last price I saw was $12.00.  I'm going to have to look harder...  I'd also love to have the hippo from this country.

Elle,
    It must be a product of your locale, as I picked this up locally here for 6 bucks. Again, I'll keep my eyes open at the next show.

That is quite probably true, and if you would keep an eye out for these, I would be eternally grateful and have to find you something nice in return.

I know down here, I can get all kinds of Mexican coins & currency if I move fast. Lots of collectors for that here. South American is also quite prevalent.  Australian Pre-Dec is hard as the dickens to find locally, but I can usually get nice pieces in Houston. (3 hour drive, have friends we can abuse as a make-shift hotel.)
