In August of 2001, attended a North American presidential conference, in Salt Lake City, Utah USA. Trying to bring awareness of his new idea to Rotary leaders, decided to locate some 1905 Liberty “V” Nickels (the year acknowledged as the founding of The Rotary Club of Chicago) at local Salt Lake City coin shops.
