Millions of U S Gold Coins on Pacific Coast Debased
The Treasury notes millions of gold coins circulating at less than face value due to wear.

Silver coins, by contrast, remain worth their face value despite abuse.

He described birds dancing in the air with rhythm and singing in operatic styles, noting parallels to Wagner and ragtime, and comparing robin songs to popular tunes. He observed flirtatious plumage display and noted a male Congo bird struts before its mate.
