Notice
Due to an issue with Microosft Photos I can't upload files 📁 to Wikimedia Commons for the time being, anyone else interested in continuing my batch of images from Scott Semans World Coins can ask me for help organising the files if they so desire but having experience with software bugs from Microsoft I might not be able to upload from my phablet for a couple of weeks or months. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 18:28, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
