The Dahlonega Mint was a former branch of the United States Mint built during the Georgia Gold Rush to help the miners get their gold assayed and minted, without having to travel to the Philadelphia Mint. It was located in Dahlonega, Lumpkin County, Georgia. Coins produced at the Dahlonega Mint bear the "D" mint mark. That mint mark is used today by the Denver Mint, which opened many years after the Dahlonega Mint closed. All coins from the Dahlonega Mint are gold, in the $1, $2.50, $3, and $5 denominations, and bear dates in the range 1838–1861.
One of the rarest, perhaps even the rarest, coins struck at this Mint is the 1861-D Gold Dollar. The mintage is estimated to be between 1,000 and 1,500 coins. The exact mintage is not known since they were struck by the Confederacy who had already taken over the Mint. An estimated 75 coins are extant.

Stone (Rai) money from Yap Island
Correct! Well done. Please email your contact info to info@northeastcoin.com.
To add to this, Yap also added a picture of their stone money to their license plates starting in 1982
How in the world did this happen? Two consecutively numbered notes in this kind of condition. Does anyone have a possible explanation as to how this might occur?
i would say they were stuck together---
