    Hey guys,
    As some of you may know, I run a small coin club at my local library. Today i am doing a coin jeopardy, which i have done before, but I am running out of interesting questions for them to do. I figured you guys can help!
    So the task is to make as many questions as you want with 4 answer choice (one of course being the correct response).
    Ex.
    Which coin denomination featured a buffalo in 1937?
    A) Dime
    B) Quarter
    C) Nickel
    D) Penny
    Keep in mind these are very new collectors so please don't make the question too hard
    I really appreciate it
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Trick question, indeed. The Stella was a pattern only, not a coin.
