Now that is an interesting quiz....Some jump right out, others take some thought...maybe I will come back to this one...Until then, number two is a Morgan dollar...Cheers, RickO
First off thanks for taking the time to assemble this quiz, very neat idea. 3, 7, 11, 14, 20 and 22 have my stumped. This is good stuff WingedLiberty1957!
That image in the OP would make beautiful computer "wall-paper." ** What a great quiz too.**

EDIT so as not to ruin the thread: "...Except #11. There is enough in the image to ID it. IMO, only #14 should give many folks a problem."

Number 1 is the 2009 Zachary Taylor Presidential Dollar Coin. These don't circulate at all. The reverse of these coins are identical on all the Presidential coins -- so you could have guessed any of the Presidential Dollar Coins and would have been right, technically.

Yes, Number 11 was brutal -- the 1934 Half Cent. The top of the head was a very obtuse clue. In hindsight, I probably should have picked the spit curls on her cheek. I had to put a few tough ones on there to raise the difficulty. I didn't want it to be too easy. That's no fun!
Number 14 is the often panned Susan B Anthony Dollar. These didn't circulate much. and were only minted for 3 years from 1979 to 1981 as I recall. The likeness was based on a steel engraving from the 1800's -- unfortunately the engraver of the coin did her no favors in terms of copying her likeness -- especially around the nose and chin. My clue of the button at the top of her dress was obscure to say the least.

Were these meant for circulation at the beginning of that program? It seems like I have seen the Washington and maybe the Jefferson in change.

Oh no! You'll need to switch out #9 with one of these.........otherwise some folks around here just won't recognize that one.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

To do that right, I would probably need to remove the numbers!
Posters are hard. If you are going to print, you need a higher image resolution.

At first I thought #2 was a Morgan Dollar, but then I thought there's no way a Morgan can produce so much color, so I left that one blank.
