The best numismatic pun I ever made was at the 1978 Numismatic Literary Guild Bash in Houston. I was sitting at a table between Alan Herbert and Walter Breen, and Mint Director Mary Brooks was up on the stage doing an excruciatingly bad ventriloquist act with a rubber chicken she called Cecil the Mint Eagle.
As one joke after another hit the floor and died, I said to Alan and Walter "I am suffering Mal de Mary," and got up and left.

Is that an-ode joke? It's really a little negative though. >>

When final approval is received, another negative is prepared. They use this to make a copper electrotype or galvano. The negative plaster cast is dried thoroughly and treated with hot beeswax and powdered copper. Finally, they attach a conductor and suspend the treated model in a copper electroplating tank. This process deposits a layer of copper that is at least 1/16th of an inch thick on the negative model. The resulting copper shell, called a galvano, is separated from the plaster and trimmed. After eliminating all defects from the galvano, the engravers add lead to the back to strengthen it.

OK, so there's no level to which I will not stoop to revive a thread.
