Bush (for me, found in The Corner ).

The Fugio cent, a penny authorized by Congress in 1787 and reportedly designed by Benjamin Franklin, contained the mottos 'Mind Your Business' and 'We Are One'-a reference to the 13 colonies. Myths debunked: religious right activists love to spread false information about the separation of church and state. Here are ten rebuttals. Also in obverse 11 on the cinquefoil to the left of FUGIO one of ends points directly to the cross stroke of the F. The obverse of this coin shows there was a die clash. That is, the obverse and reverse dies struck without a planchet between them, thus causing an impression from one die to be make into the other die.

Further Information

Simple, clear design

There are building blocks called nodes that have inputs and outputs. Link the inputs to the outputs using your mouse. You now know how to use Fugio!

Learn useful, transferable knowledge

Fugio calls everything by its real-world name and doesn’t introduce needless jargon. What you learn here will be useful elsewhere. It hides the code and leaves you to process the real data how you need to.

Make things first, learn programming on the way

Learning to break an idea down into smaller steps that can be described in code is just as important as learning to write the code itself (and much less frustrating). Using Fugio, you’ll naturally learn important programming concepts along the way without writing a single line of code.

Digital Preservation

Creating digital art is challenging enough without worrying whether it will still be working in the future when you want to show it again. Fugio is designed to be at the cutting edge of digital preservation with its robust, highly modular design allowing for reconfiguration or replacement of nodes without needing to rebuild the whole thing from scratch.

Digital Democracy

Fugio is designed to democratise access to technology for anyone who wants to use it, regardless of existing technical experience. It is amazing to see the worldwide enthusiasm and variety of quality resources to make learning to code available to everyone that has been happening over the past few years.

However, we have to recognise that coding just isn’t for everyone, and we don’t believe that anyone should have to learn to write code to understand or use computers if they don’t like doing it.

Fugio aims to allow access to high and low level technologies without having to write a single line of code, unless you want to, and then you can do that too!

Open API

Fugio is built in C++ using the Qt 5 Project for its excellent cross-platform support.

There is a programming API for Fugio allowing you to create custom nodes, GUI components, and other parts of the system.

You can use Visual Studio C++ Express on Windows, XCode on OSX, or standard build tools on Linux to create plugins.

Beware of counterfeit 1787 Fugio cent

In his “Detecting Counterfeits” column, Michael Fahey writes about what is arguably the first official U.S. coin. “Bolstering that claim is the fact that the Fugio cent was authorized by the Confederation Congress in 1787,” he writes.

Not surprisingly, the coin is a target for counterfeiters. The piece examined in the column “is an average quality counterfeit that is only deceptive to a collector or dealer that is not familiar with the various varieties,” Fahey writes. Learn what tools you can use to detect such fakes in his column, found exclusively in the print and digital editions of the March 12 issue of Coin World.

Changes for coins, hobby in 1908 and 1909

U.S. coinage underwent some changes in 1908 and 1909, writes Q. David Bowers in his column “The Joys of Collecting.” In 1908, the first branch Mint cent was struck: the 1908-S Indian Head cent, product of the San Francisco Mint. And in 1909, the 1909-S Lincoln, V.D.B. cent became an instant “rarity.”

In other hobby news, the American Numismatic Society opened its new headquarters in New York City, where it would remain until 2004. What else happened in 1908, something collectors did not like? Find out in his column, exclusive to the digital and print editions.

Four great die varieties from one reader

In his “Varieties Notebook” column, variety specialist John Wexler generally profiles coins submitted by different readers, but not this time. “In this month’s column, I present four great die varieties, all submitted by William Malayer,” Wexler writes.

See all four — doubled die coins, a repunched Mint mark variety and a coin with “something” on the reverse whose cause remains a mystery — in his column in the March 12 issue of Coin World.

Is a palladium coin a valuable error?

The debut of the American Eagle palladium bullion coin in 2017 generated a lot of collector and dealer interest, resulting in a fast sellout to the U.S. Mint’s authorized purchasers and profit-taking in the secondary market. For one owner, however, his coin seems a little unusual.

Fugio Private Equity Fund

In his “Readers Ask” column, Paul Gilkes writes about a 2017 American Eagle 1-ounce palladium coin with “finning” — an unnaturally high and thin rim. Learn what causes finning and whether it adds to the value of a coin in the March 12 issue of Coin World.
