Prime Number Error Newp

messydeskmessydesk Posts: 20,766 ✭✭✭✭✭

I was looking into if I wanted to add more of the modern coins to my Prime Number set. 1979 is a prime number, and as the year is famous for one of the worst mistakes in US coinage, the SBA dollar (derisively called the "Jimmy Carter Quarter"), I figured it would be fitting to use a mistake to represent that mistake. Purchased from @FredWeinberg .

    That is an unusual focus for a collection.... However, not as unusual as belly button lint or random pieces of string... :D Cheers, RickO

    Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:
