What you are missing sir is scale. All cents that exist to be used might total 1/100th of one percent of dollars in existence, (I think I am very...
Of course sir. All personaly preferences, and those are simply mine is all. Same can also be said of tons of coins, patterns, etc.
No offense meant sir. My point would be I find errors the mint struck on ACCIDENT to be moderately interesting, and own a few. Intentional errors...
I agree of course. I was just trying to think small and extremely doable to minimize the current damage. A rational government would have done it...
Yeah, all had a lot of "help" being made and leaving the mint, huh?
