Warren Kennedy Program: 

Currency & Fractional CurrencyCoin Collecting is the second most popular hobby behind stamp collecting.1793 coins us started producing coins, no quality control of specifications.Shortage of coins and people started using stamps as currency, with advertising on them. Variations of types of coins and stamps 1876. Outlawed fractional Currency. (non-US Approved Coins/Currency)  Standards were set for US coin and paper currency. Additional Law,  no living person can be on currency. WWII Military confiscated all US currency in Hawaii after Pear Harbor. It was replaced with US ‘Hawaiian’ currency & could only be used in Hawaii. It was not honored elsewhere. Shortage of coins 1960, people began to hoard. There were experiments with different types of bills, most failed.

Currently it costs:

     37 cents to make a penny. 

       9.3 cents to make a nickel.  

    Dimes & quarter cost less to make than face value. 

Proof coins are limited additions coins for collectors only.  Warren Passed samples around. 240 billion pennies enough for every per to ever exist would have 2 pennies.
