U.S. MINT ERRORS A MARKETING PLOT?

Katie Jaeger writes: "The national press attention to the dramatic
presidential dollar errors makes me wonder whether it wasn't the Mint
public relations department who arranged for the appearance of these
oddities.  Maybe that extra corn leaf on the Wisconsin quarter was a
test run for a new marketing idea?"

[I wouldn't expect the government to have that much creativity, but I
guess it's a possibility.  If it was done on purpose, it sure was
successful. But its usually much safer to bet on the government's dumb
luck over forethought.  -Editor]
