We do not have any information available about why the United States has followed the general custom of displaying coin values in words instead of numbers. The United States Mint used numerical descriptions of the value on our coins from time to time since the establishment of our coinage system in 1792. However, this has been the exception and not the rule.

In December 2003, a dairy cow went down after calving, was tested, and was found positive for BSE in the state of Washington. This is the only case of BSE ever reported in the United States and this animal was traced to a Canadian herd that was sold in a herd sale dispersal.

Those coins are classified as "uncurrent" or mutilated. Mutilated coins are coins that are chipped, fused, and not machine countable. Mutilated coins are only redeemable through the United States Mint. Uncurrent coins are coins that are worn yet recognizable as to genuineness and denomination, and are machine countable. Uncurrent coins are redeemed by the Federal Reserve Banks, then forwarded to the Mint for disposition.

Traditionally, all United States coins have been dated in the year of their production. This policy was interrupted, though, because of the coin shortage and the speculation in rolls and bags of coins that took place in 1964. As a result, Congress passed legislation so that after the calendar year 1964 coinage was produced, the United States Mint could still use the 1964 date. Starting in 1965, therefore, all denominations of United States coins continued to be struck with the 1964 date.

Ah, you mean things like fung1 etc! They indicate the Cantonese tone of the word. Cantonese is a tonal language so if you want to speak it, you will at some point have to learn the correct tones. There is a whole page about this subject at : Cantonese Tones. I am only a beginner at Chinese so it is quite possible there will be some mistakes on the site. It would be really helpful if you could let me know by posting to a dedicated thread in the forum, "Mistakes in this Website".
