The year marks the 150th anniversary of The Act of February 21, 1857.

 

This law called for a new copper-nickel small cent to replace the large copper cents, and also abolished the legal tender status of foreign coins especially Spanish and Mexican coins and old copper cents and half cents circulating in the United States. Those coins were to be called in and exchanged for U.S. silver coins and the new cents. This law would create the greatest change in what would be circulating as coin in America since the U.S. mint started producing coins in 1793 thus making 1857 one of the more significant years in U.S. coin history. cool.gif

 

Here is my example from that historic first year small cents were struck for regular issue.

If I remember properly the 1960's phrase was, "Don't trust anyone over 30". As to age, I'm 49, so that would make me an old fart too. grin.gif

I think it all depended on where you were at the time. If you were in San Francisco, it would have been, "Don't trust anyone who doesn't drive a flowery VW Bus." If you were at Kent State, it would have been, "Don't trust anyone wearing green fatigues." And, if you worked for the Teamsters, it would have been, "Don't trust anyone, period!"
