Current US commemorative coins continue to make headlines. This week it is the dime without an olive branch. Widely noted because it came out the same week Trump captured Venzuelan president Maduro, the coin had nothing to do with the current US administration and was in fact a nod to the US Revolutionary war that created the nation. But as the editor notes, "Despite the confusion and controversy, I'm glad it has people looking at their coins again".

I agree! Keep looking at your coins :)

100 US contacts down, 150 to go.

I think it's slightly ironic that W4/G7EIX is my "Most common USA250 entity worked." 😁

America’s oldest warship, sunk in 1776, is getting a 250th-birthday makeover.

Conservator Angela Paola is lying on her back under the 16-tonne gunboat, picking debris from between its nearly 250-year-old planks. She is wearing blue surgical gloves, grimy white overalls, and a half-face respirator.
