I did the half dollar roll searching thing in the early 2000's (yes, I'm old). It was the rare roll that didn't have a 40% or several. 90%'s were...

Lady Liberty isn't a woman. She's an idea rendered in female form. We depict all real people on our circulating money, and have since 1947. All of...
