[QUOTE="troublesbrewin, post: 780570, member: 16993"]Well morse code has passed it's prime and has been virtually retired to the history books - at least until there is a major electromagnetic pulse that wipes out our communications systems then we'll fall back on pulsing flashlights or something akin to smoke signals. As for dots on coins, I think there are lots of coins with dots or periods in different places for different reasons. The only time they effect the value is when there are several varieties for any given year and/or denomination. A trade dollar has several periods on the reverse and double eagles also have lots of dots (and stars on the perimeter). Some coins have arrows at the date to show a change of weight for that year, oddly sometimes it's for an increase and sometimes for a decrease in the weight. The valuable ones are for varieties as they are few and far between definately not the norm.[/QUOTE]
