The US mint did experiment with aluminum plated copper blanks for cents in 1916 and 1917 but nothing ever came of it.
More of a medal than a token. A token was good for something in exchange, it had some kind of negotiable value even if it wasn't stated (such as...
Metallic mercury is not absorbed through the skin.
True, but if you place it on the waters surfaces VERY carefully you might be able to get the waters surface tension to support it. But that's not...
Yes they could have, but they didn't want to. We didn't finally get completely off the gold standard until 1971. They were still trying to keep...
