US Coin And Currency Trivia

Since it is late here I'll post some trivia questions to keep this going until I come back in the morning. -MV

1. What date and mint mark has the 5th lowest business strike mintage in the Morgan dollar series?

2. Who wrote a book on branch mint coinage in 1893?

3. Where is the mint mark located on 1838 and 1839 Capped Bust half dollars?

4. On a 1909 St. Gaudens Double Eagle how many tiny stars circle the obverse rim?

5. Notes issued for use in North Africa during WWII can be easily identified by sight. How?

6. Which large size note has the nickname of "Sawhorse Back" ?


P.S. Don't forget anyone is welcome to post a trivia question at any time.

And here's my question.

Abraham Lincoln once appeared on the quarter. True or false?

@DCM Coins
Yes, on the Illinois State Quarter.

@duncanbishop - what is the answer for this lowest clad mintage coin?

@CoinCollector2012 way to go with three correct answers at once!

Collector side note: North Africa notes had blue serial numbers like other silver certificates but had a gold Treasury seal.
