HOW PANAMA CANAL WORKERS WERE PAID

Regarding Dave Ginsberg's request for information on the
circulation of gold coins, Henry Bergos writes: "I had a
friend who was a railroad engineer in Panama DURING the
digging of the canal.  He told me that the "anglos" were
paid in gold and the Panamanians were paid in silver at
one-half the amount for the same work. I don't know when
Dick Luce died but I estimate that he was born around 1883.
I knew him around 1963."
