The U.S. star or replacement note displays a star as a suffix on Federal Reserve notes. A star is used to replace defective notes found during the inspection process at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Since the highest number that can be printed by an eight-digit numbering cylinder is 99,999,999, a star has been used to denote the 100,000,000th note off the press. Historically, star notes hold a value slightly higher than the legal-tender value, with the amount dependent on condition and denomination

Whatever method you try to clean a coin, it's best to test it on a non-valuable coin of similar metal first. That way if a certain method does have bad effects, you'll find out before you ruin a valuable coin. I discovered this much to my chagrin when cleaning a batch of 1943 steel pennies in an acid solution. I'll never know if it would have worked, because I had the pennies in a galvanized steel container and the acid, combined with the galvanization, fused the pennies into one worthless chunk.

New Dollar Coin Emails Misinform

Wed, 07 Mar 2007 18:08:00 +0000

There have been a couple of different versions of emails floating around the internet lately claiming that the National Motto "In God We Trust" has been omitted from the new dollar coins.

Here is a an example of one of those emails:

U.S. Government to release new dollar coins.
You guessed it "IN GOD WE TRUST" IS GONE!!!
Who originally put "In God We Trust" onto our currency?
My bet is that it was one of the Presidents on these coins.
All our U.S. Government has done is Dishonor them, and disgust me!!!
If ever there was a reason to boycott something, THIS IS IT!!!

DO NOT ACCEPT THE NEW DOLLAR COINS AS CHANGE

Together we can force them out of circulation.

The problem with these emails - - they are flat out WRONG!

The new dollar coins do contain "IN GOD WE TRUST" on them. The National Motto, along with the year, mint mark, and the phrase "E PLURBIS UNUM", have all been moved to the edge of the coin to avoid cluttering the design. Although a few examples have been found with the edge lettering missing, these are error coins and not some government plot to phase God out of America.

The one word that is missing from the new dollar coins is the word LIBERTY. Apparently the thought was that the word would be redundant since the reverse design for all of the coins depicts the Statue of Liberty.

So if you get one of these emails in your inbox, please do everyone a favor, don't pass it on . . . DELETE IT!
