"Still drawn to the change in my pocket, I started thinking about other coins, especially the quarter and the dollar.

The mint's facts and Joe's opinions have kept me sputtering along since the last wonk." A video blog by Jerry Shea, UNM professor emeritus. From the original blog at macinstruct.com, Aug. 5, 2008.
