Pál Erdős died in 1996 mid-conference — he collapsed at a mathematics meeting in Warsaw, which was entirely in character for a man who spent decades without a fixed address, traveling between colleagues and sleeping on their couches in exchange for collaborative work. The Hungarian National Bank has issued a long series of silver commemoratives honoring Hungarian scientists, and Erdős fits awkwardly among them: he renounced his Hungarian residency, held an Israeli passport, and was briefly denied entry to the United States during the McCarthy era over a journal subscription to a Soviet mathematics publication.
