New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

Argh, got 8/9. I need to go to Remedial Coin Shop 1A after work! Didn't know how long a $10 stayed in circulation. I knew that $1 stayed around 14-18 months. Also, isn't the fugio the first coin minted under the Constitution (was minted in NY, right?)? I think it is. So their answer of 1793 may not be correct. But since I have to go to class again, I suppose I'm wrong here, too.

Alot of us missed only that one question.Interesting.BTW I said`One Year` on that question.
Question #1 is wrong. More cents are produced and more are distributed to banks, but the quarter is by far more used...again, think about change and vending machines...machines don't accept cents, they only accept the larger stuff...when you ask for change for a dollar, they would usually give four quarters, not 100 cents. Again, the cent is used only to give change, and as stated before, they are rarely reused.
So let's challenge them! Let's make them give sources for their answers!
