Are there any regular circulation-issue U.S. coins that feature
their denomination in both words and numerals?

(Not as a combination [e.g., the Liberty Head nickel],
but as both words and numerals.)

I can't think of any off the top of my head, and I don't have
a Red Book handy; I might be overlooking something.

    I mean, are there any that

    1. feature the full denomination in words, and also at the same time
    2. feature the full denomination in numerals.

    For example,

    QUARTER DOLLAR, and also
    25 CENTS

    Early large cents. One Cent as well as 1/100 and One Hundred for a Dollar around the edge. Does this count?

    It surely should!

    The link shows a U.S. pattern with "1/5 dollar" and "20 cents" on the reverse. Though this pattern is not a regular issue circulation coin, it sort of fits the bill as far as words and numerals go.

    Here is another pattern, a $4 dollar stella. It is labeled both "400 cents" and "four dollars." Stellas "kind of" circulated...so does this count?

    He asked about "regular circulation-issue US coins" so I would say no.

    Oddly, the first one I thought of was the 1796-97 half dollar.

    Well, as I recall, rumor has it that Stellas kind of regularly circulated among houses of ill repute in DC ... image

    But, also as I recall, Breen is the source of the rumor so I tend to doubt the claim.
