Just about to head off for a couple of weeks. I will be in Fiji picking up sevens coins and notes for forum members.
OK...probably doing a few other things too -drinking Fiji bitter, lying on the beach, eating kokoda etc.
Goodbye for now or, as Redlock might say, "auf Wiedersehen für jetzt".
Jeff

Have a great time Jeff. Have a Fiji Bitter for me will you. :)
I have fond memories of getting drunk on that beer on a
beautiful balmy night about 20 years ago.
Have fun Jeff.
Bis bald.
Have a great time Jeff!!!
That was one of my favourite British comedies back in the day ....

Don't do anything AJ WOULD do either. There are laws... :angel:
:laugh2:
They only apply if you get caught Fulvio, so don't get caught :winkextra: :mocking:
Well I came back and I did do something AJ wouldn't do -drank Fiji Bitter. Yes Steve, I did have several of those for you.
Apart from the holiday activities I managed to pick up some coins and notes;
•UNC Fiji $7 notes in reserve bank folders
•UNC Fiji Sevens 50¢ coins in capsules
•Some circulated $7 notes and Sevens 50¢ coins
•Some nice publicity material from the Reserve Bank (I have spares of those if anyone is interested)
•Some early issue, previous design $2 and $5 notes
•A few aUNC coins of various denominations and dates.

I will be in touch, in the next few days, with those forum members who asked for the sevens coins and notes.
Meanwhile, if anyone is interested in obtaining some circulated examples, I am happy to sell spares at face value. Not too easy to find as people tend to be hoarding them and shopkeepers do not want to handle the $7 notes anyway.
The sevens coin features Ratu Peni Raiyani Latianara (coach Ben Ryan) (http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympics/rio-2016-fiji-award-ben-ryan-with-honoray-native-name-and-land-following-olympic-rugby-sevens-gold-a7215166.html) on the obverse. Being allowed to be called "Ratu" (chief) is a big deal in Fiji.
Apropos nothing in particular "Bati" means "warrior" and the Rum Co. of Fiji (https://rumcooffiji.com/) have some varieties in their range with names of ratu and bati and they make an excellent coffee/rum liqueur that leaves Kahlua for dead. So I didn't just drink beer -in fact I attended a Rum tasting hosted by the head distiller. Very informative as I basically was only familiar with their Bounty rum beforehand (would you believe that is 58% alcohol content).
Welcome back Jeff!! Sounds like you had a great time! :good:
Sounds like it was a struggle Jeff! :grin:
Pedro
Welcome back Jeff.
I hope you didn't have too many beers for me.
Wouldn't want to be blamed for the hangover. :)
:welcome: back Jeff, looks like you had fun ;)
Sent you an email :good:
Good to see you did something I wouldn't :) :friends:
