In the 2022 YN Auction I won a piece of 25 cent fractional currency. I thought it would be fun to research it and write a blog about it.

The Booker T. Washington Commemorative Half-Dollar.

                              The United States mints in this blog post all have some things in common. They were located close to a natural resource that they could use to make coins. For example, in Dahlonega, New Orleans, and Charlotte there was a gold rush and so a US mint was needed there.  All the mints in this blog post have never worked or are no longer working.
