Quarters Premium Jigsaw Puzzle

Lesson: Does everyone know about mintmarks? Under "In God We Trust", there is a letter "P" for Philadelphia Mint, which actually has a great tour where visitors walk above the work area & Ben Franklin is actually buried across the street. "D" stands for Denver Mint. If you want to see paper money being pressed & cut, you'll need to go to Washington DC.There is much security here. Once again, this is a walking tour above work area with bullet proof glass. This is a place where children's imaginations can soar. I remember seeing a woman doing her cutting of $100 sheets just as casual as can be.

Good morning all. I just cleaned all the quarters out of my wallet, had six dollars worth, no wonder my purse was so heavy. Everyone have a wonderful day and stay safe.

There are also mints in San Francisco and West Point with the bullion depository, of course, being in Fort Knox. At one time the mint mark "S" was on coins minted in San Francisco. I am not certain if that is still true.

When I was about 12 my family took a trip to Washington, DC and we went to the mint and saw the bills being stacked and cut. Very interesting.

Yeah when I was about 12 our family took a trip to DC. My sister used to live in DC and worked for ABC. I met all of her co-workers. We went in the spring. Then I went in the fall for Thanksgiving.

I bet they don't give out free samples at the end of the tour like they do at breweries or ice cream manufacturing plants.

Hey Karen--When we were kids, wouldn't it be like a miracle if (on the Q.T.) our parents paid $1 so each of us could receive a BRAND New $1 fresh off the press? I'd treasure it forever!

Yeah! By the way, when they reintroduced the $2.00 bill in 1976, my Mom got each of us kids a first day issue bill with a postage stamp and cancellation mark - I still have mine.

Whatever difficulties you face, Jingles, you have my prayer that God takes very special care of you.

Thank you Jingles
so very true
i thank God for letting me see another day

Thank you Jingles.

God is good, all the time.

Good for Lyn! May her healing continue.

:) Hugs.

That is great Aussie. We need more good friends like you. I love your quote today. Trynfindit was right when she said God is good all the time.

Aw, nlb, I got here very late today but I hope your day improved and that your tomorrow(s) have you in better spirits. Two mornings ago there were two young Tufted Titmouse on my bedroom windowsill. They could fly and all but they were still very small. Then, this morning, there were two very young Black-capped Chickadees. The chickadees are one of my favorite birds. It's kinda funny (curious); one day I asked God to send a wren to our yard as we hadn't ever seen one here. After not too long, a wren came and has since made families here. Then I asked Him for a chickadee. I told him I knew they didn't usually come down here (n.e. Fla), but after a short time two chickadees appeared. Same thing happened when I asked him for an Eastern Bluebird. Now the bluebirds nest here. I tell you this because, as I'm sure you know, God wants us to be happy. These little birds give me and my family great joy which is a testament to the love and wonder of our loving God. We praise Him daily. Hugs, and God bless you, too.

Yes, it turned out to be a good day. It wasn't reallly as bad as I made it sound. I really did not feel like doing puzzles but wanted to get to my crafting. Yet if I do not "check in" with you all my day really doesn't go well at all. Thank you for your concern. I finished making an apron out of what was once a scrub top then made a small but very cute handbag of my own creation from what was left of the fabric. In Dec. I will be selling stuff at a Craft Faire for the first time and feel as though I still have much to do before then. My theme is to take the discarded and create something new and beautiful with it. This will be my first attempt to sell what I have made, other than jewelry, and it's a bit scary and exhilerating at the same time. God bless you, trynfindit
