coinsnpaper- My first post

My first post. I sell money (coins and paper, so my name is coinsnpaper) on e-bay. I meet many interesting people through this work. (Or should I say that I meet many interesting people that are at least as crazy as I am through this work?) Anyways, at the last coin show I attended, I met a 77 year old man- long white hair, long white beard, who came from the North end of Vancouver Island. He had his credit card used to the tune of $17,000. He could not prove who did it, other than to know it was not him, but he is being held responsible, and he must repay it. He gave me a couple of items that he produces, which are the first of the new $1 coins, and the last of the $1 bills, as one set, and the first of the new $2 coins, and the last of the $2 bills, as a second set. He sells these to visitors to his home village for $10 each. I have got them listed on ebay this week as "Canada First $1 coin 1987 Last $1 bill 1973 HELP PLEASE", and Canada First $2 coin 1996 Last $2 Bill 1988 HELP PLEASE". If you are interested in bidding, or in helping this chap out, please visit my store at http://stores.ebay.ca/coinsnpaper?refid=stores and you should be able to find them, as well as sone of the other items I have for sale. I will be giving all proceeds less my costs back to the gentleman.
