It's a site that has all kinds of interesting money stories (OK, some aren't that interesting) and oddities. But anyway, the coin above this blog's title is a 2-cent coin the U.S. government issued from 1864-1873. I wish I had one of these, so I could literally put my two cents in sometimes.


The pirate and other dude are "hobo nickels," and the messed-up looking nickels and pennies are mint errors. They used peppermint instead of spearmint. Blahahahahahahaha (to quote Crazy B).
