€ 75 has been my highest price so far.

Then a bunch of coins in the area around $20.

The rest is (far) less

oops, forgot the

Starting at $1.00, increments of $0.05 please.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This is not funny

Well, I haven't even considered adding the required cells in my type set table for those babies yet....

New additions, required extra column in the table.....

a lot of goodies for my type set

Barber dimes: "O" and "S"

Barber halfs: "O" and "S"

Silver Roosie "D"

Got a problem now, my type set table hasn't got a column for "O" yet....

tooooo far 

indeed, waaaaaaayyyyyyy too far

the top coin looks like a UK 3d (3 pence) from 1900 to me

The bottom one I can't really determine, but it says New Foundland on the obverse.

I'd favor a coin for $1 and $2.

Like mentioned before, USA is one of the very few countries that still use $1 and $2 notes.

Notes are far moe expensive in use: they wear out a lot faster so they need to be replaced a lot more often than coins.

In the Netherlands, before the euro was introduced, we used to have a 5 gulden note, but it was demonitized and replaced by a coin. At first, many people thought that would be awkward, but in practice it was much more convenient than the note.

About ditching the cent: someone here said that it would only increase a transaction with up to 4 cents if all was rounded up. Well, that's true, but it will increase EVERY transaction with 1 to 4 cents.

Then the struggle with adding tax....

Ive never been to the USA, but have been to Canada and there they have hte same crazy system that taxes are added at the register and are not already included in the prices. so you walk through the store, you add up the prices and in the end you suddenly have to pay a significant amount more, because tax was added.

That system is forbidden in europe. Prices at product in stores and advertisements must list the actual price you have to pay, including taxes. What's the big deal of not mentionin ng the tax as everybody has to pay it anyway?

Added two proof nickels to my type set today

Two proof 2005 nickels, bufalo and ocean view

Then she helped me firgure out what was going on with MPREX and BRULE

You're a programmer Labmom?

I just won :

1959 Red Book

1963 Blue Book

1966 Red Book

al together for $3.50 on Ebay

Art?????

and with that suggestion, if we get a gallery where members can post pictuers of their notes, we'd get a peep show?

We've already got some accidental errors on the Guinea notes. Luckily Art hasn't printed any of his yet so we managed to get those corrected prior to printing.

 

Unfortunately i had already reeled off some S mint notes and have then found a few problems on the preliminary run of the 20s and 10s. Damn!

I was going to destroy the ones i'd done and start again, unfortunately one set has already been officially released and is now in the Netherlands. So i figure i'm gonna just let these few problem notes out with the regular correct issues.

 

I don't generally like sending substandard stuff out but they cost me enough to print!

So, sent me a dud eh?

 

The ultra rare pattern note of the BNMCP 

Dutch

kiitos, Tane

any particulate reason for that "50" with two different height characters. while all other denominations have equeally height numberS?

well, took me a week to discover what those ghost-lights and ghost-names meant.....

Glad you found it that easy .

Keep up the good work Stujoe.

By the way, do you happen to have dutch 1966 coins already?

I was just gunna type: "Seems that you did it Stujoe"

Thanks!!! :thumbsup"

voted for the walking liberty, as it's the best design of all the halfs I have.

It's also the oldest half I have...

For about a week, I kept seeing strange things in the main index: the blue light lit and a a some member who posted last in the Coins forum. Then I'd go to the coins forum and see no blue lights, nor a thread that was posted last in by that member.

It kept me puzzled until a few minutes ago when it happened for the so many'th time. And then I suddenly realized: could it be skin related?

I changed from retro to IPB default and then I saw what was happening: I had the sub forums part minimized. When you do that in IPB default, and then switch to Retro, the whole sub forum is gone. But, if a member posts in it, I can see the blue light and that members name in the index page....

Oh, that's something I'd like to see too.....

you don't want to have type and TYPE??????????
