StJoeBlues Pillar of the Community United States 573 Posts	Posted 06/22/2013 9:58 pm The eagle on the Barber quarter has always reminded me of Sam the Eagle from the Muppet Show. Here's the only profile shot I could find. It's Jim Henson's original sketch. What do you think? Was Henson inspired by the Barber quarter? Report this Post to the Staff

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 08/23/2013 11:03 pm 8 escudos, Argentina, 1813. A very valuable gold coin and the first to be minted by Argentina as an independent state. In 1994, this design was reused on the bimetallic Argentine peso - with the theme of "First Coins of Argentina". The silver ring has the legends and the brass center is a faithful reproduction of the design. And a fun fact: this peso has crude letters that closely mimic those of the 8-escudos, but the one I own has neatly done modern letters.
