Congrats TheNoost Nice Job. The answer was 1919 and 270,232,722 Morgans were minted. TheNoost is taking the 46 Walker.
Thanks everyone for playing. We have 3 prizes left I'll ask the next 3 questions tomorrow probably around the same time maybe a little earlier, I'll let everyone know. I've also got an idea for a bonus question and prize (I warn you it's not a pretty prize) but you would need the Newest Red Book Guide to Morgans by Bowers. I think it's 2007. Let me know if anyone's got it. -Mike

The more of them you take, the more you leave behind. What are they? 2. The Pope has it but he does not use it. Your father has it but your mother uses it. Nuns do not need it.
