Here is an extremely unusual and unique denomination😉
Dang!!!
Numismatist. 50 year member ANA. Winner of four ANA Heath Literary Awards; three Wayte and Olga Raymond Literary Awards; Numismatist of the Year Award 2009, and Lifetime Achievement Award 2020. Winner numerous NLG Literary Awards.
No photo handy, but I only had one 20c piece in all of my years of collecting. And I got it in change at the A&P store around 1970. It was the only coin from my original collection that was not stolen too. Sent it to NGC years back and it graded a straight MS62. Funny thing is that the cashier noticed it was odd and gave me an additional nickel to square things up.
This was one of the most mind-blowing double denoms that I have ever handled!

One of the other mind- blowing double denoms that I handled is the unique $2.5 1846 overstruck by $5 dies.
When I owned it, PCGS designated it Proof 62. Eventually it was certified Mint State 65 by NGC. Then it crossed to PCGS!!

In my opinion the $2.50 gold made more sense than the $3. I never bought the idea about the sheet of stamps.
The system was built upon multiples of ten. Ten cents made a Disme. Ten Dismes made a Dollar. Ten Dollars made an Eagle. Ten Quarter Dollars made a Quarter Eagle.
