Our January meeting was lead by our new officers.  The night’s presentation was given by John Watta with his preview of the MPC presentation to be given at this year’s MPC Fest.  Exhibits included foreign coins, medals and tokens from various members.  We enjoyed a lively discussion on Bitcoins and crypto-currencies.

February’s presentation will be “Milwaukee Prosperity Tokens” presented by Randy R.
