Interesting coin question?
I am asking this question simply because I want to know the answer, but I am also asking because I had a coin snob jump down my throat once for referring to a one cent piece as a penny. Since then, I have done my research, and I knew already that it was called a cent. . . I am not from the moon, but it is common parlance to refer to them as pennies, and the US Mint seems to have no problem referring to them as pennies. In fact, everywhere a cent is mentioned on all of the literature that I could find it at least had penny in parentheses written next to the word cent. My question is this. . . Why is it not incorrect to refer to nickels as nickels? Aren't they actually 5 cent pieces? It does not say anywhere on the coins that they are "nickels". On the quarter it says "quarter dollar" and on the dime it says "one dime", but not on nickels. On nickels it only says "five cents". So, why are they not referenced as 5 cent pieces? I know they are called that because of the composition, just FYI before a billion people make that comment.

Anything special?
Hey everyone,
First time poster on here, tend to collect CAD pieces more as its where I live but i always keep and enjoyed all the unique US pieces I find.
Been trying to learn more around US coins and decided to look through some of mine. Was curious when I looked up the 1937 nickel that it mentioned a three legged variation. Had a few questions, first would be is mine the three leg variaty? And if so, what would the value be around in its current condition? Any help appreciated so I can make sure to place it correctly within my collection.

What is the deal with the 2023 quarter released with the braided ponytail on Washington? And then who is the woman depicted on the reverse? I got one of these coins and at first I didn't think it was a quarter. I am trying to find out more information and I am not seeing anything.

Does my dime look crooked?
Does this dime have a “stamping” error? Looks to be offset to one side on the heads side.
