<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 3223001, member: 74863&quot;]Dollars are printed on special paper. Coins are minted. There is no law requiring the obverse and reverse be upside down. This minting process is known as &quot;coin turn&quot;. I can think of several good reasons why it is as it is but there is no reason for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>1-It has also been minted this way.</p><p>2-As colonies, we had just broken away from Britain and wanted US coins to be different from theirs as an exhibition of our new found freedom.</p><p>3-The metal displacement on the obverse must be offset on the reverse.</p><p>4-You flip a coin from top to bottom, not left to right.</p><p>5-No official wants to change what always has been.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a few reasons but why change it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
