    I think Jeporady is a parody of Jeopardy.image

    Most non-collectors have no idea that we have a mint in Denver. I'm guessing with the legalization of pot in Colorado, most Denver residents don't know there is a US mint in Denver which is appropriately known as the mile high city.

    I tried out for Jeopardy but never got called. The tryout was fun though, they give you buzzers and you answer sample questions.

    'Smart' is a relative term, these people have and accumulation of information - this does not necessarily reflect logic or reason on their part... which, IMO, is where the term 'smart' would really apply....Cheers, RickO

    Jeopardy is a terrific show! All of my opera knowledge has been acquired there... (for what THAT is worth). Interestingly, people at the Mint HQ have little knowledge of Mint history. If you asked them the first branch mint there are probably 3 out of all the staff at HQ that might know the answer. A family friend was on last week, first person I ever knew who was on the show, came in 2nd, but respectable.
