   I had the same thought; heck, $2 bills ara a curiousity even here.   
      
   I'm currently scouring the city looking for post offices which   
   actually have IRCs; they're pretty scarce.

   I've uploaded all my contacts for all my calls going all the way back   
   to about 1963; 3200 contacts (I was surprised at how few there were,   
   but I go inactive for years at a time) and only 31 QSLs.
