WildYapok Valued Member Canada 83 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 5:27 pm I saw one of those in a locked donation bin here in Canada once but had no idea what it was. I tried to look it up when I got home but didn't have any luck... Why is there a heart on an American dime? Report this Post to the Staff
nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 5:54 pm It's a counterstamp. Not sure if it has any meaning beyond "oh cool, a stamp", but I found my first counterstamped coin this weekend so I was pretty chuffed :D I've also been doing my part by stamping some of my MPPS quarters. They won't get melted by the Mint, so they should stay in circulation for a while... Report this Post to the Staff
Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 6:01 pm I think somebody is doing them just because it gives a smile. I know when the wife got back shew thought it was pretty neat. And ordered me not to get rid of it! Back in the day they were stamped as a cheap advertising means. http://cecilmunsey.com/index.php?op...5&&Itemid=47 here is an interesting paper on the subject. Report this Post to the Staff

SaintRidley Pillar of the Community United States 592 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 8:18 pm WildYapok, it's a counterstamp. Don't rightly know the reasons people do that, but there you have it. It's also an American one cent, not a dime. Report this Post to the Staff
