new paper on Sylver Coinage
World's Largest Leprechaun
has just published a paper of mine on the subject of Sylver Coinage.
Sylver Coinage is not exactly a hot topic in number theory; nobody
seems to be studying it but me, and not much of that. Still, my
paper goes a little ways beyond _Winning Ways,_ so it may interest
fans of Conway et al.

Rest assured that there's at least one person that stashes away your
occasional postings to sci.math on the subject of Sylver Coinage if
he happens to see them. (Hmmm... that sounds like the one-sided black
Scottish sheep, doesn't it?)
More generally, is anyone maintaining a set of references to later
work done on the games mentioned in _Winning Ways_, organised in
book order?
