Our June meeting included current event discussions: an article from the Journal about rubber stamps that were being produced that would allow people to over-stamp Harriet Tubman’s picture on $20 bills. Members questioned whether that’s legal, and it was explained that altering coins or currency is illegal only if done with the intent to defraud. Report of hikers finding two coins – one a Spanish coin from 1660, and the other a coin from the 1200’s – near a trash can in Glen Canyon National Park, Utah. It was unknown how the coins got there, but it was thought they may have fallen out of someone’s pocket.

Exhibits included: the first dollar in the American Innovation $1 Coin Program, Morgan Carson City dollars (counterfeits), two sets of reproduction coins from the Gallery Mint, a set of 1.0 troy ounce .999 silver ingots from 1975. The member would like to sell them as a set,  a bronze medal issued by the M.N.S. to commemorate the club’s 1,000th meeting held on April 18, 2009. Bob found a 1887 Seated Liberty Dime in change from the BP Gas Station in Hartland.
