What does the wife of a bank president bring back as a souvenir of her trip to Europe ? Why, money, of course. Mrs. Calvin Verity, wife of the head of Middletown's First National Bank, returned from England two weeks ago with specially minted Coronation coins jingling in her pocketbook, and ten of them are now on display in a small case at the bank offices. All you have to do to see them is walk up to the desk of Vice President R.H. Snyder and ask, "May I see the coronation coins?" And quicker than you can say "ER II," out from Snyder’s desk drawer will leap the ten engravings of Elizabeth imbedded in green velvet under the glass case. The coins range in value from one farthing, worth about one-quarter of an American penny, to one crown, worth 70 of the same pennies...
