<--OT--> 'Hole-y' Coins.

Hi Paul:

The coin with the hole in the middle is no more. I did find some ancient coins (silver)in our attic when I was a kid and I still have'em.These set of coins of various denominations came in a silver box and everything,this by the way was not Indian coins but issued by the then King who ruled our area.I guess each kingdom issued their own coins in those days.

If you are interested here are some nice ancient coins from India,gold ones at that.

PAL,

Did you see the six final design options for this $1 coin in today's NYT? I think it's important that we vote on which one we prefer. (US mint website doesn't yet offer an electronic way to vote, but should soon).

We certainly don't need any more 'ugly' currency on top of the embarrassingly bad redesign of the $20 bill.

regards,
mazman

OT RE: distinguishing dime from penny

Scratch the edge. Dime is milled. Penny isn't. Dime used to be part silver, now mostly copper. Penny used to be mostly copper, now mostly zinc. They make a nice voltaic pile.
