Coinmelt Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Edmund. C. Moy, director of the U.S. mint, released a press statement in regards to gold .900 Monroe dollars being released into circulation. Apparently, 219 of the "golden" dollars were accidentally shipped. Easily detectable by color and especially by weight. The press release goes on to say "These coins are not legal tender. They are illegal to own and must - under law - be returned to the United States Mint." CHECK THOSE ROLLS! April Fools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
