A Vermont and Kentucky joined at the same time B Kentucky joined before Tennessee and Vermont C Tennessee joined after Vermont and Kentucky D Vermont joined after Tennessee and Kentucky Question 49: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the denomination of an American coin? A half cent B half nickel C half dime D half- dollar Question 50: Why was a coin produced in 1828 with only twelve stars? A There were twelve states at the time B There was a change in design policy C Tennessee had left the Union D The mint made a mistake THE END Page of 4/135 ... the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued... to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme would not prove practical and the coins from 1798 were issued with only thirteen stars-one for each of the original colonies Due... often possible to spot these distinctive roof forms from several blocks away Another feature of this style is the detailing, shown in the wood shingle siding cut into fanciful decorative patterns
