It was on this day back in 1792 that Congress passed The Coinage Act, which

They got a commemorative medal back in 1992, Con-gress having already used up
the allotment for commemorative coins.

Somewhat curious pieces, showing images of several U.S. coin designs over the
years. The 1932 Washington quarter obverse even shows a mint mark....ON THE
OBVERSE!!!!!!!
