Elderly gent in green shirt, from Davis? Coins, like chips, apparently travel in predictable circuits. Your finding the yellow BEN would also explain the "hole" in his white stock album next to his blue BEN chip.
King Phillip of Spain once chanced to meet King Henry the Ninth or Almost That of England, and the following conversation took place:
Phillip: "I own Mexico, senor."
Henry: "I own the Cook Islands."
"I also own Argentina."
"Well, my men have Uganda."
"Yes, but I own the Philippines and named them after myself!"
King Henry was silent for a moment, and then said with twinkle in his eye:
"I own Gibraltar, and you can see it from your rear window."
