I have been a numismatic for over 40 years and specializing in errors and varieties for 31 years. This is a great teaching tool for the Error coin community because it gives you an idea of how those things can happen along the way.. Thanks y’all
Why does the US Mint consistently refer to the US Cent as a penny? I realize it's de facto, even even though most people know what a cent is, but shouldn't the US Mint lead? Look at the coin, where it is boldly labeled "ONE CENT", and as far as I know has for 230 years. The word cent indicating it is 1/100th of a dollar. On the same line, why do we all call the five cent piece a "Nickel", when it is 75% copper? Somehow, 'we' got the Quarter and Half right, LOL. Will we ever quit minting Cents and Nickels, which both cost more than face value to produce? That's a rhetorical question, since I know the US Mint doesn't make decisions like that. Canada quit making their 1¢ coin a decade ago. Australia and New Zealand have also ended the virtually worthless coin. People don't even bother to bend over to pick one up. It's estimated that annually there are millions of them literally, intentionally, tossed in the garbage.

What do you mean
Nice..

You can tell this is a government video: long on flash, and very short on details.

So will Donald Trump be minting his own Trump coins inside Federal Prison Walls ? Just kidding everyone.
