Misspellings on coins

There's the 1800 "LIBEKTY" half-dime... Can you think of other examples where words were misspelled on coins?

The 'LIKERTY" large cent.

The "Ameri" large cent

Die cracks on seated halves often make "HALF" look like "HALE"

and die chips on Lincolns end up with "LIBIERTY"

There's and AMERICAI out there too. Don't remember what coin or denomination

There is also the CONTINENTAL CURENCY misspelling caused by a spacing problem on some of the Continental Currency patterns.

A neat little trivia aside about the Continental Currency Patterns... they were designed by Benjamin Franklin.

Its not a coin, but a Civil War Token which says, "shoot him on the spoot" instead of "spot."

1783 and 1785 Nova Constel(l)atio. Mispelled? Don't really know if it is a fact.

I've got a 1982 Lincoln cent I found in change that year which has a cool cud die break that wipes out the word TRUST from the motto so all it reads is IN GOD WE and then there is a blob. Does that count?
