I spilled red wine on a white top while over somebody’s house. They put it in the washing machine for me & when I went to take it out, I noticed change in the bottom of the washing machine and offered to take it out. But they informed me the copper in the coins helps to remove stains. The wine came out but I am wondering if it was really from the change or because I washed the top immediately.

Chosen Answer:

No money will not remove stains, it is because you probably washed it right away this is why the stains were removed.

Ever since I was a little girl, I have been collecting money. Bills & Coins from all over the world. I don’t really know if they are of any value but some of them are pretty old so I think some of them are worth money. I even have one dating back to the 18 hundred’s. I live in Vancouver, BC (Canada) and I am wondering if anyone knows if there is someone that I can contact that I can take my large collection to that can help me go through it and determine how much they are worth if anything at all because I’d like to sell them. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Chosen Answer:

There is no place on line. See if there is a coin club in your area for they would be glad to help. There are also coin dealers where you live so check them out. Remember not all coin dealers deal in coins of the world so you need to find one that does.

What are the pros and coins on A positive blood type? Can donate to all other types? Am I able to receive only from certain types of blood?

Chosen Answer:

There really aren’t a lot of advantages or disadvantages to having one blood type over another.
However, since you are female, it is definitely better to have Rh+ blood. Rh- women can sometimes have problems with pregnancies that produce Rh+ babies. It is something that can be managed, but you have to get shots and some additional blood work and I imagine it can be a little bit of a hassle.
People with type A blood can safely receive either type A blood or type O blood and these 2 types make up about 87% of the population. In the unlikely event that you were to receive blood that was not intended for you (for example: your room mate in the hospital needs blood and they give it to you instead), the likelihood that a problem would arise from this is about half that of someone with type O blood. People with type O blood can only receive type O blood, so less than half of all blood is compatible with type O people.
Another small advantage to having type A blood is that it is very common so there is almost always a very adequate supply of it. Type O is very common as well but since it is sometimes used on people with other blood types it is not unusual for it to be in short supply. Occasionally hospitals are forced to cancel elective surgeries on people with type O blood because the supply of O blood is critically low.
So yes, there are a couple of minor advantages to having type A blood. Hope this wasn’t too confusing. Sometimes it’s hard to explain this without getting too technical.

Of course we all know that gold is over 00 per ounce, but if you go to a pawn shop you are only to get half of that if you are lucky. Where would you go to get the best return for the estate? Coins and jewelry both.

Chosen Answer:

Pawn shops use your gold as collateral against money paid to you, which you must return and then you get your gold back. Jewelry shops will give you hardly anything for it. I would suggest you use reputable estate jewelry buyers. If you are in or around NY, try Fabrikant Fine Diamonds – ask them for an assessment first. If the price is agreeable to you, then you can move forward with the deal. Hope you get a good price!

I have been looking on eBay and I can’t seem to figure out what kinds of coins I should start collecting. I don’t understand much about series like “S” and “D” series. What series is the most valuable?

Chosen Answer:

It’s impossible to tell you what coins are going to go up in value more over time. Really, you should collect stuff that interests you. Do you have a country that you’ve always wanted to visit, or some hobby that you’re interested in? Those would be good areas to start collecting.

The “D” or “S” (or “P”) that you find on US coins isn’t a series–it’s a mintmark indicating where the coin was made. Coins with a “D” were made in Denver, coins with an “S” were minted in San Francisco, and coins with no mintmark or a “P” were made in Philadelphia.

Coins from one mint are not necessarily worth more than coins from another–it all comes down to how many were minted, and how big the demand is for that coin. Here’s an example: For 1911 cents, the San Francisco coin is worth about ten times what a Denver coin is from that year in the same grade. For 1914, the Denver coin is worth 10 times what the San Francisco coin is worth.

My dad had a howard hughes coin collection, it was one big set split up into 3 smaller ones(my dad had one of these smaller ones his friend and another buyer had the other two), alone they were about ,000-20,000 a peice but if u had all three of the sets to make up the main one it was worth over 100,000. So my herion addicted brother stole these like 2-3 years ago (and probably sold it for like because he didn’t know the worth) so we filed a police. Report but nothing came up and ourr insurance wouldn’t cover it because. It wasn’t a “forced break in/ robbery” because my bro prob did it in the middle of the night when he stayed with us but this has bothered me for so long thinking my ignorant ass hole of a brother screwed my dad over like that and I really want to know is there anything I could do to maybe try to helpp my dad recover it, if my brother took it to a pawn shop would a pawn shop keep any records on something that valuable? Do u think a newspaper add could maybe contact some one?

I have 2 coins, same dollar amount, same color.
One is the Gold Liberty Gold Coin with Mother & Child on front. Also on front of that coin is ” In God We Trust ” but no date is printed on the front, like it normally would. Turn the coin over & it has the Great Law of Peace symbol, under the symbol it says ” Haudenosaunee “.
The other one I have is the original Gold Liberty Gold Coin with Mother & Child on front. On the front of that coin is the ” In God We Trust ” and the date ” 2000 “. On the backside is the Eagle & the words ” One Dollar “.

I thank you for your time & information.

Chosen Answer:

A new series of circulating dollar coins was recently launched known as the Native American Dollars. These coins feature the obverse of the prior Sacagawea Dollar paired with an annually rotating reverse design which will celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of Native Americans.

The series was authorized under Public Law 110-82, The Native American Coin Act, which requires the United States Secretary of the Treasury to “mint and issue coins in commemoration of Native Americans and the important contributions made by Indian tribes and Individual Native Americans to the development of the United States.”

The first Native American Dollar was issued in 2009. The reverse design highlighted the “Three Sisters” method of planting with the depiction of a Native American woman planting seeds in a field of corn, beans and squash.

The design selected for the year 2010 was based on the theme ” Government – The Great Tree of Peace.” The design features the Hiawatha Belt which is a visual record of the Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy. The belt encircles five arrows representing the Onondaga, Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, and Seneca Nations.

For 2011, the theme will be “Diplomacy – Treaties with Tribal Nations.” The focus of the design will be the creation of the treaty between the Great Wampanoag Nation and the settlers at Plymouth Rock.

I noticed that in the past Philippine currency was mostly consisted of bills. From 25 centavos up to 1000 peso bills. But as time goes one larger denominations are converted to coins. From 1 peso to ten peso coins have already been changed into coins. What does this imply? Is the production of coins less expensive than the production of paper bills?

Chosen Answer:

Coins are more expensive “up front”, but their longevity makes them cheaper over the long haul.

For example, a US “golden dollar” coin costs about 12 cents to produce, while a bill costs about four cents. But the average coin will last 30 years, while the lifetime of an average dollar bill is 18 months. So in the time it takes for the average coin to disappear, that dollar bill will have been printed 20 times, at four cents each.
