coinhead1 Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 "Mind your business" was a favorite motto of Ben Franklin and appears on the first American one-cent coin, known numismatically as the "FUGIO" cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Architecht Posted June 1, 2002 Administrator Share Posted June 1, 2002 So I'm just perusing the replies. Let me just say this - holy hand grenades, bat man, some of you are getting FAST on the response time! ! Arch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 !> Good glory it took me like 30 minutes to figure that out!! I didn't bother thinking about colonials because usually the coins you ask about are minted by the mint. And though the mint wasn't established at the time the fugio cent was the first minted under authorization of the United States. I hope someone posted the info about this because I'm very curious to why the time-flies franklin cent had "Mind Your Business" on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoot Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 "I'm very curious to why the time-flies franklin cent had "Mind Your Business" on it!" Don't tarry away your time; after all, there is a new experiment, a new nation at hand, and only the labor of its people will suffice for its success.
