[QUOTE="davidh, post: 428713, member: 15062"]Try this quiz. These questions refer ONLY to regularly circulating, post-Colonial coins, and do not include commeratives, pattern or bullion coins. Some questions are easy, some maybe not so easy. 1. What coin first showed the words "In God We Trust?", and in what year? 2. Most, but not all, US coinage minted since that year have contained those words. What exceptions have there been? 3. What two vastly different coins used identical wreath designs on their reverse sides? 4. Over the years, many coins, gold, silver and copper, have featured stars, some 5-pointed, some 6-pointed, as part of their design. Which coins of each metal first showed the 5-point star and which were first with the 6-point star? 5. What are the only three coins to have ever depicted the same person on both the obverse and the reverse of the same coin? 6. Which coin types had no indication of their value included on their design? 7. Besides Monticello being found on the Jefferson Nickel, what other coins (excluding the State Quarters series) depict a building and what coin and building are they ? 8. What coin shows two people on the obverse? 9. How many different US presidents have appeared on coins (excluding the Presidential series dollars), and what coins were they? 10. What was the shortest-lived coin series? And a bonus question; 11. which coin series have depicted an Indian on the obverse?[/QUOTE]
