Albion Numismatics with Frank Passic
There is nothing remarkable about
Albion, Michigan, except as Frank
makes
it so. The town is nice, to be sure.
Nestled in the forks of the Kalamazoo River, Albion is home to 10,000 residents,
an old liberal
arts college with 2,000 students,
some light industry all surrounded, of course, by
agriculture. And a surprising amount of history, much of it
evidenced by numismatic materials.
Beyond the coins, tokens, and scrip, Frank reveals Albion's connection to The
Purple Gang, Dr. Martin Luther King, and
more than you can imagine on the Albion,
Michigan, community website. (Choose Historical Albion and follow the links
to Frank's rich inventory of local lore.) Click here for our presentation
