Here's a rapidfire quiz about coins. The questions are hard but fun, and the answers are given right after the questions are asked.

So if you want to make guesses as you go, keep your finger on the pause button and hit it just as soon as I finish reading the question.

Which of today's coins have the least amount of copper content? How many mints have been in Philadelphia since 1792?

Do you know what strange thing happens when you pay for a $3.59 purchase with a $20 bill?

What was the Buzzard coin? Who proposed our decimal money system? What were the modern-day era years of no mint marks?

Learn the answers to all of these and a lot more, in under five minutes.

Thanks for the quiz, (and answers).
Now, my previous question has yet to be answered.
Are there existing examples of Charlie Butler's counterfeit coins?
Peace ✌

 

[Dan Hughes]

Not sure what a Huckleberry is, but as far as I know (and I don't know very far at all), none of Charlie's coins have been identified.

In the western movie �� Tombstone, Val Kilmer portrayed Doc Holiday. When asked a question, he proclaimed "I'm your Huckleberry".
I imagine if a person located a genuine Charlie Butler counterfeit, it would be highly valuable.
Peace ✌

 

[Dan Hughes]

I doubt that there would be any way to identify Charlie's coins. He used actual US coin blanks and the mint's machine, so they should be identical to the ones turned out in the daytime by the regular press operators. And you couldn't blame a miscast coin on Charlie particularly - they seem to be everywhere, all coins and all years.

 

[CincinnatiKid]

Understood.
You do great work Dan. Thanks
Peace ✌

Some argue that he said "huckle bearer", which it could be.

 

[CincinnatiKid]

I hope not! I've been sayin' huckleberry for years.
Thanks for the homework wainzoid.
Peace ✌

I thought about the huckleberry thing when I saw the movie I think it just means pick me yummmmmmm,!huckleberry pie

 

[CincinnatiKid]

My homework has revealed wainzoid is indeed correct.
Handles on caskets are/were called huckles.
Doc Holiday (Val Kilmer) in Tombstone says, "I'm your huckle bearer". It's regularly misquoted as "I'm your huckleberry".
Well done wainzoid.
Peace ✌

Also, I apologize to Dan Hughes for getting soooo far off topic.
