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.
