This is to keep the face of the coin from wearing away when i two coins rub together. The little | scallops on the inside of the raised | ring are called the “milling.” ;\n| around the edge of the dollar are | little parallel marks, close together These are called the “reeding,” and are made to keep people from shay- ing silver off the dollar. The dol- lars now being minted bear the head of liberty, on one side. This head is rot designed from the imagination of an engraver. A young Philadelphia lady named Anna Willlamson, pos- sessed such classic features that the government engraver secured per- mission to copy her head. On the re- verse side of the dollar our nationa] bird the eagle is shown. In one tal- on is a bunch of arrows and in the other an olive branch. Partly sur- rounding the eagle is the laure| wreath. The laurel wreath has bheen | the symbol of victory and progres. | sion since the days of ancient Greece, It adorned the brows of poets, sculp- | tors, athletes and warriors. !
