While a large quantity were produced in 1979, the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin
failed to circulate well (despite the slogan "Carry three for Susan B.") and a minimal
number were produced in 1980. Public reaction to the coin was primarily negative,
with complaints that it was smaller than previous dollar coins and was also too easily
confused with the Washington quarter. Its unpopularity was compared to the greatly
disliked 20¢ piece from 1875, which was also easily confused with the quarter.

Olivia Mary de Havilland was one of the foremost leading ladies of
Hollywood’s Golden Age. She began her career as a contract star for
Warner Bros. Pictures in 1935.

On November 17, 2008 Olivia de Havilland received the National
Medal for the Arts from President George W. Bush.

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — A prop vehicle that was used in the original "Star Trek" TV
series in the late 1960s and acquired by an Ohio collector has sold at auction for
just over $70,000 after a last-minute bidding war.

The Repository in Canton reports an Akron-area collector had been storing the
partially restored 24-foot-long Galileo shuttlecraft for several years before putting
it up for auction online.

Auctioneer Brooks Ames says the selling price soared during the final 90 seconds
of the auction on Thursday as three late bidders fought to claim the structure used
as the shuttlecraft of the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Ames says he believes the buyer plans to restore the fake shuttlecraft and possibly display it in a museum.
