Beautiful Coin Friday - America 250 edition. What could be more beautiful than this coin featuring the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the American flag? Who had relatives who arrived in the United States through Ellis Island?

I got to see something cool today - adding a border to a die. I had not seen this before. It's always exciting to see something new in the factory.
