Until I can be convinced otherwise, this sounds like CYA and lip service to me. "See? We're doing something about it." Didn't they get rid of a...
Four New Zealand kiwis and a tuatara in this group shot, all from change (these coins circulate in Australia too). [ATTACH]
So many 1835! Here's mine, the only one I have (from grandpa) and my oldest US coin. I think I tried to determine the die pair a while ago but...
https://en.numista.com/12294 says it's a bird-of-paradise but I think it's more likely the national bird, the Siamese fireback, which is a...

This tidbit got my attention, found down here https://vaultbox.com/series-info/dynasty-2026/. [ATTACH] "MSRP" as in "suggested retail price"...
Found this one "detecting" in the pulper clean-out pit at a newspaper recycling plant (summer college job). [ATTACH]
