NY worlds fair Irradiated dime

[M Nivas <motnivas@YAHOO.COM>]

Greetings to all,



When I attended the New York World's Fair in 1964

(1963?) I went to the American pavilion. They were

irradiating Dimes (your own) and placing them in a

blue disk with electrons orbiting the dime. As a kid

we went into our closets to see if the dimes glowed.  

(they did not)



The purpose was to show that irradiating a dime was

safe. 



First, has anyone attended the fair and has a

souvenir?



And second, does anyone know what they irradiated the

dime with?



Tom Savin
