We shall have to agree to disagree on that point. I have always seen them as counterfeit money. It was the entire purpose of the things !
I doubt that ! There is no such law.
It has to do with the edge lettering - letters up, or down, with the obv. It's stupid really, because it is purely random chance that determines it.
Of course you have options - but instant gratification is not one of them. And to be honest with you, in this day and age, that is the single...
Yes, they are. Coins in mint rolls come from regular production coins. Coins in Mint Sets come from specially produced batches of coins. Of...
They see it, they always have seen it. With they being the govt. But the thing is if they remove the 1 dollar bill - people (the voters) will...

Like Conder said, it's like a fingerprint. Only it's for coins instead of people. All they do is take a very high resolution photograph of the...
Actually I've been in a rather good mood lately. Then spock showed up :rolleyes:
