Look what I got for running an errand... my first indian head!! and a washington dollar!!
{In 1859 the United States government began production of a new one cent coin with an Indian Head design. They were produced for 50 years, until 1909, when the Lincoln cent design replaced them. The Indian Head design, created by James B. Longacre, is really a stylized "Liberty" head wearing a full Indian headdress. The reverse of the coin has the words "one cent". Surrounding the words is a laurel wreath design. After the first year (1859) the reverse was slightly changed. The wreath was changed to "oak leaves" and a small shield was added at the top. Composition: 95% Copper, 5% Tin}
Woohoowee! Cool, huh?! 
{George Washington Presidential $1 Coin — First President, 1789-1797. Following the ratification of the Constitution of the United States, the Electoral College unanimously elected George Washington to serve as the United States’ first President. The former General and Commander in Chief of the Continental Army served two terms as president, holding the office from 1789 to 1797. On June 1, 1789, President George Washington signed the country’s first Act of Congress, concerning the administration of oaths. In 1791, President Washington presided over the Nation’s first recorded Cabinet meeting, which included Alexander Hamilton as the United States’ first Secretary of the Treasury and Thomas Jefferson as the first Secretary of State. President Washington himself laid the cornerstone for the United States Capitol building in Washington, D.C., on September 18, 1793. Washington also laid the groundwork for the United States’ earliest foreign policy stance when he issued his Declaration of Neutrality in 1793, a direct response to the emerging conflict between England and France.} 
Now, what did I do to deserve such a surprise in the mail? Well, all I did was to exchange old crumpled singapore notes into new ones. Right after I received wd1040's mail, I went to the bank and inquired if they still have paper notes for 5 and 10 dollars. Then, I also got some new polymer notes... all crisp and fresh. I also got him both versions for the 2 dollar note as a bonus. After that, I just sent it back to him and viola! I'll just wait for his confirmation that he received it and our transaction is done! As easy as that!
I'm so glad I now have these two coins in my collection. Thanks very much wd1040! And I hope you'd enjoy the singapore notes...
