Trivia Time

[EZ_E]

Which legal tender US coins have absolutely no living thing pictured on neither the obverse nor the reverse. This includes human representations (including heads, hands, full torso, etc.), plants, twigs, etc.

 

p.s. I counted 7, maybe 8 different issues.

Let's see.... going from memory alone...

 

Shield nickel

Two cent coin

Three cent silver

Probably some commems, I don't know them all.

[EZ_E]

Yep, those are the only 19th century coins w/o.

[nwcs]

Ahh, forgot about the Fugio cent and the Continental Dollar. Although I don't know if the CD is legal tender or not. And the bar cent. I'm sure there are some commems, but can't think of any off the top of my head.

[EZ_E]

I didn't include those since they are not legal tender in the United States of America. (to my knowledge)

I can't remember, but did the gold/platinum bimetallic have a living thing in the design?

Hate to burst the bubble guys , but those wreaths on the nickel and two cent piece are plants, twigs, and the like. So, that only leaves the trime and the pre-Mint issues mentioned. I can't think of a commem that does not have at least a hand on it.

And to further burst this bubble, it's only the type 1 trime. The type 2 and 3 both have a small branch added on the reverse.

Yeah, that's why it's fun to try to do it from memory and not look it up.

Oops, busted! Pre-issues do not count. So, just one 19th century?

 

Ok, commems are what remains.

 

1) Delaware tercentenary

2) 2002 Olympic $1 & $5

3) well, I'm not going to do all of the work............
