Acetone may work, but use pure acetone, not fingernail polish remover.
It appeals to the same kind of people who are suckered into buying gold-plated State quarters, as a "rare and collectible" item, even though any...
If Obama's policies cause hyper-inflation, this could become common currency.
I was taking the change out of my pockets a couple of days ago, and saw a quarter that didn't look like the rest. It was a 1954-P, the first I've...
I have a bit of disagreement with Clembo on the errors. Any mass-produced product, especially those that are produced in multi-million unit...

I would have to say the Morgan dollar would be the better choice. But, for a historical perspective, why not replicate the obverse of ALL the...
A ten trillion dollar bill would have been more appropriate, with IOU stamped across the front.
It wouldn't make any difference to them. They are still trying to get "In God We Trust" off all our coins and currency. I wish they would heed...
