Question
I was asked this question.
What country minted a copper coin in 1787 with these words writted on it--Mind Your Own Business.
The answer was the United States ??? Are you familiar with this coin?
Mary,
The saying is actually "MIND YOUR BUSINESS" and it can be found on the Fugio cent.
You can find many listings for these (both genuine and replicas) on eBay.com at any time by doing a search in the coins category for 1787 fugio.
More info about these can be found here :

I hope this helps,
Dan

| Comment | Mr.Morris was very helpful in regards to my question. He was kind enough to send me a link to a coin website, in addition to another website where I could see a picture of the coin. Nothing to fault, only my thanks and compliments. Mary | ||

Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
Experience
I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
