<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LakeEffect, post: 3279466, member: 43201&quot;]Well, the official policy is this:</p><p><b>NO imperfect coin shall ever leave the Federal Reserve and enter circulation.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>What actually happens is this:</p><p>&quot;Sir, some nerd just found a 50% off-center Jefferson at Walmart.&quot;</p><p>&quot;What?!? That&#039;s not allowed! Retrieve it at once and replace it with a perfect specimen!&quot;</p><p>&quot;If we do that, there will be a big stink when the folks on <i>Coin Talk</i> declare it was worth ten bucks and we only gave him a nickel for it.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Ok, tell the nerd it&#039;s worth 10 bucks, then see if he&#039;ll allow us to replace it with a perfect specimen.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
