There were coins that were fairly distributed, like the Iowa half dollars. There were other pieces that were sold to all takers. Then the leftovers were sent back to the mint and destroyed. Still others, like the Monroe and the Columbian were released into circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The big scandals were connected with issued like the Cincinnati, Hudson (really bad) and the coins which were made for years for no good reason other than greed. These include the Boone, Oregon Trail, Texas, Arkansas, Booker T. Washington and Washington-Carver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
