From this week's E-Sylum: "Banknotes Salvaged, Looted, or Lost by Shipwreck" has been updated to include ALL forms of transit:

"A study of 57 known shipwrecks and confiscated cargos of consigned banknotes from 44 countries, 15 printers and 3 paper mills - 1779 forward".

The book was particularly updated after the crash of a Lockheed C-130 Hercules in Bolivia with a consignment of 10, 20, & 50 Bolivianos on board. A frenzy of about 20,000 people attempted to cart off some of some the 60,000+ banknotes spewed about La Paz airport wreck site. More: https://www.coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n24.html#article3
