I thought that the US Mint would

200 year anniversary commemorative


coins for the War of 1812.




I guess the war was fought as late


as 1815 and achieved a stalemate.


Still, I'm a little disappointed


some crummy coins weren't issued.




The US Mint is incapable of seizing any opportunity.



Congress decides....not the Mint


Good to see you are still above ground and above room temperature Phil!
